Public bug reported:

Affects: epiphany-browser (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
Epiphany should download files to the set downloads folder, even when it
is intending to open them automatically.  Currently (dapper) it
downloads them to /tmp instead.

The correct behaviour is described in the gconf schema for
/apps/epiphany/general/automatic_downloads:

"When files cannot be opened by the browser they are automatically
downloaded to the download folder and opened with the appropriate
application."

I'm fairly sure this is a recent problem, and it seems that gconf key
(and therefore the gui option that controls it) doesn't have any effect
at all anymore.
