Kevin, this is all very interesting. I appreciate you going down the rabbit hole with the tmp idea even though I said I would drop it until I saw the error again.
Theoretically, what would happen if an ePub file is left open in Sigil over the weekend and then worked on again 3 days later? Do the unzipped files remain in the tmp folder until the ePub is closed in Sigil? Because I am sure I have done this—I left a file open in Sigil for more than 3 days, then came back and made some changes and saved it. Thinking back, that was most likely the circumstance both times this error popped up for me.
I just ran the stat command above on my El Capitan, and some of the timestamps seem to correspond to when I opened the currently-open ePubs yesterday, with others corresponding to the last time I saved the files yesterday. The directories seem to have a most recent timestamp of the moment I ran stat. Here are some of the results:
