[arch-general] Can't create /tmp/.X11-unix and /tmp/.ICE-unix while booting

Just before I do something stupid, I thought I would ask about these
apparent errors.

Mon May 30 11:49:39 2011: ^[[1;34;40m:: ^[[1;37;40mRemoving Leftover
Files^[[1;0m ^[[s^[[151G
^[[1;34;40m[^[[0;36;40mBUSY^[[1;34;40m]^[[1;0m /bin/mkdir: cannot
create directory `/tmp/.X11-unix': File exists
Mon May 30 11:49:40 2011: /bin/mkdir: cannot create directory
`/tmp/.ICE-unix': File exists

My boot log goes back to 12 May 2011 so that's the earliest I can
verify this data. I've search flyspray for any bug reports about
this and didn't find any. Should these two files be deleted on
shutdown or should they not be created on boot? If they should be
deleted, where is the error?
