.~tmp~/ is currently excluded from our rsync configs (and we'll look at
getting ibiblio to do this as well), so your excludes are safe.  

The full list of rsync-level exclude we will be implementing on our
rsync servers are:

exclude = .snapshot/ .~tmp~/ /.private/ /.private/** **/.nfs*

so we'll be sure to make sure there are no files matching any of these.
