Now, I just made an installation of filesystem and all its dependencies, and it seemed to work. The filesystem scriptlet complained though because grep was missing, but at least it was run.
Try installing bash and all its dependencies, in the proper order (so, without using "-Ud"). Then install glibc a second time. You'll notice that the first time glibc is installed it has no complaints, but the second time the scriptlet complains about missing grep and awk and other things. I infer from this that the scriptlet is not running at all before bash is installed, since it should complain about missing grep and awk both times. This has implications for this method of installing archlinux: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Install_Arch_from_within_another_distro which I've added to the "discussion" section of that wiki page. My original problem of incorrect permissions on /tmp was because I was installing neither bash nor coreutils into my chroot (using zsh instead), and using "-Ud" to install filesystem.
