Ok, Seth, I found that I can see this in a VM when using the original Trusty release desktop 64bit ISO:

- boot into "Try Ubuntu"
- open a terminal (uxterm works best for me due to this stupid gfx bugs with Cirrus)
- ls /tmp (contains some files already)
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install libc6
- ls /tmp (files are gone)

This does *not* happen using the 14.04.2 ISO with the 3.16 kernel. Interesting is that on the live-cd /tmp is a tmpfs mount, so that would rather not make overlayfs a suspect.

@Larry, can you post here which kernel version is used in the curtin environment you are looking at? Did not see that info, yet. Maybe I missed it. Right now its hard to say which other package versions might be interesting.

For libc it seems 2.19-0ubuntu6.3 -> 2.19-0ubuntu6.6 for curtin. On the 14.04.2 ISO its from 2.19-0ubuntu6.5 to the same (cannot say yet whether that is of importance).
