display from stdin always creates temp files in current directory?

Whenever I display an image from stdin, like this:
"display" creates temp files in the current directory, no matter how I set ImageMagick's environment variables MAGICK_TMPDIR, MAGICK_TEMPORARY_PATH, etc. Is there a way to cause these temp files to be created in some other directory?
The temp files have names like "magickh9EMwm". I can see them getting created by monitoring the directory:
This is on Ubuntu 14.04. Version info:
Code: Select all
$ cat myfile.jpg | display -
