Comment (by nacin):

 get_temp_dir() is used for streaming files or working with images, but
 WordPress has always used wp-content/upgrade. They were introduced around
 the same time, in [7058] and [6779].

 dd32 would be able to speak to this, but if I had to guess, this has to do
 with file permissions, and that unzipping to wp-content/upgrade (a folder
 we create) ensures the files get the right owner?
