Please try using mod_php. Using the client also don't work for me.

Oh and just to be sure:
- tried with safe_mode on + off
- open_basedir does _not_ include /tmp ;)

Make sure your phpinfo() display the expected value of open_basedir. Turn on display_errors etc.
It doesn't depend on the server API in any way.

Ok, here is the detailed problem:

If tempnam() will be called with an empty string, expand_filepath() (called from php_check_specific_open_basedir()) will expand this string to cwd. The cwd is most probably in open_basedir, so php_check_specific_open_basedir succeeds.
tempnam() will then call php_open_temporary_file() which includes an fallback to php_get_temporary_directory(). 

In most apache setups, php is not able to write to the cwd (cause of safe_mode), so php_open_temporary_file() will fallback. This is not the case when using client, so php -d open_basedir=`pwd` -r 'var_dump(tempnam(false, "temp"));'
 works.
