Using the latest build 55eed9efd84c4a2163a3e2b86c8d9b68a243fb6b, we’re reproducibly getting the following error when trying to install an update on 10.7.2:

> Can't make a temporary directory for the update download at /Users/user/Library/Application Support/MyApp/MyApp 1000

This is also a regression from a version 1-2 months old that we were using before, presumably because since 05861e5340b359d6d91c851013c3e132a2500388 Sparkle is using the Application Support directory instead of /tmp for the downloaded update, and our app doesn’t use or create an app-specific directory there.
