I think I'll pass that question to the person who's been putting up
claims without being able to support them.

You have a weird way of admitting that your claims were completely and
utterly unsubstantiated.
To sum up the results of our little dipute:
- FileVault apparently *does* on-the-fly encryption.
- Except for swap and /tmp there are no other places where one would
expect user temp files to be created.
- On-the-fly encryption does help prevent data from leaking out of a
FileVault.
Which is exactly what I've been saying from the very beginning.
