Look in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh, towards the end there is an uncommented line like this "rm -f /tmp/.clean /var/run/.clean /var/lock/.clean". Comment it. Do other files other than the dotted files disappear?

The correct way is to use /var/tmp for temp files instead; /tmp is supposed to be cleaned on boot, /var/tmp is supposed to remain.
