The system (ie, root) partition always includes /etc.

Well it's unlikely to be filled more than 100% (although possible), so I
suppose the answer is 'yes'. /tmp isn't cleared during backups (not by
rdiff-backup anyway). I suggest you concentrate on fixing the fact that
your root partition is full before you worry about why rdiff-backup doesn't
work.
