I've experienced the bug myself - however, e.g. konqueror uses/used 
some file in /tmp to detect crashes and restore itself after one. 
That would be pretty difficult if /tmp was emptied on every boot.

I also sometimes find it useful to examine the temp files some apps 
produce, especially over a couple of days.
