The TEMP handling hasn't been changed for a long time.  Also, if I run
tcsh and then start a cmd shell, the handling of TEMP looks correct to
me:

  tcsh$ echo $TEMP
  /home/corinna/tmp
  tcsh$ cmd
  Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

  C:\home\corinna>echo %TEMP%
  echo %TEMP%
  C:\home\corinna\tmp
