In the meantime if alfresco is not running you can safely remove those files.

I deleted the tmp files and everything appears to still be running properly. We've tried reproducing the problem (interrupting large uploads partway through, for example), but we can't make it happen. I'll just keep an eye on the system and see if a pattern emerges for when these files are left around.
