Actually, nevermind. This value is only used in places that Horde has  
control of where the files are written. I.e., temporary files that  
*horde* creates. It seems that currently the only way to change the  
place that Imagemagick/Imagick place *their* temporary files is to use  
env. variables. See: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66046
