Thanks for the hint! Seems ok in Octave 8:

$ unset TMP TMPDIR
$
$ octave -f p.m
tempdir: /tmp/
tempname: /tmp/oct-qADTgN
P_tmpdir: /tmp
$
$ env TMP=/tmp/new-tmp octave -f p.m
tempdir: /tmp/new-tmp/
tempname: /tmp/new-tmp/oct-BwAUu8
P_tmpdir: /tmp
$
$ env TMPDIR=/tmp/new-tmp octave -f p.m
tempdir: /tmp/new-tmp/
tempname: /tmp/new-tmp/oct-5HuVZ6
P_tmpdir: /tmp
$
$ cat p.m
printf ("tempdir: %s\n", tempdir ());
printf ("tempname: %s\n", tempname ());
printf ("P_tmpdir: %s\n", P_tmpdir ());
$


Octave version:
