This is just speculation, but I think I recall that grub uses some /tmp, and perhaps also fsck. (Or is it using the ramdisk /tmp????) If you bury your /tmp as a symlink into /var, then it may not be available when needed.
My other reasoning is that so many progs use /tmp, that I would hate for a foul ball to wipe out my /var partition.

Just curious.... Why would you give those partitions that much space ?
I recently came across a number of system that held over 500MB in /tmp or /var/tmp, but most of them were more than a week old, indicating that the cron-janitor cleaning those areas was "on leave" ;-)
