Please consider applying the attached patch, which affects swank-allegro.lisp and allows customization of the temporary directory for Allegro CL. It turns out that Allegro's (system:temporary-directory) [which is the default directory used by system:make-temp-file-name] can sometimes get confused on Windows in situations such as with certain network filesystem configurations.

Since that issue will affect every use of SYS:TEMPORARY-DIRECTORY, not just SLIME, have you considered placing an FWRAPPER around it? (In any case, this issue rings a bell; I'll investigate if and how we get around it at work, tomorrow.)
