This cannot be entirely accurate: the command I asked you to type had
quotes around the value of TMPDIR (to find out whether it includes
some slack whitespace).  I don't see those quotes in your citation of
what Bash printed.  Please give me the *exact* string printed by Bash.

The latest version of Bash is v2.03.  I suggest to upgrade to
bash203b.zip and see if the problem is still there.
