Tim, and others,

By the way, there is a mechanism in GDAL to support storing .aux.xml
information in an alternative directory when the file cannot be
created on the target directory due to permissions, read-only media, etc.

This is enabled by setting the GDAL_PAM_PROXY_DIR option to
point to a directory where files can be written.   If there is a place
known to QGIS that would be good for this, it might make sense
to take advantage of this.
