As per the iOS App Programming Guide, this is intentional. /tmp is a
safe place to put work in progress that you don't want backed up, but
you also don't want to lose. Therefore, it's your responsibility to
clean it out. This is in contrast to the contents of /Library/Caches,
which the system will automatically clean up when it deems fit or
necessary, and thus is not a safe location for anything that cannot be
recreated.
