Follow-up Comment #7:

@gwiora:
What maybe might be at play here is that behind your back, Windows may use
another temp directory inside the temp directory.
That is, I often find that the environment variables %TMP% and %TEMP% point to
e.g., C:\Windows\Temp but in reality C:\Windows\Temp\1\  or C:\Windows\Temp\2\
are being used.

However, xlswrite.m and helper functions invoke Octave's function 'tempname'
which in turn invokes regular Windows functions, so AFAICS xlswrite.m etc.
should just work "as advertised".

This bug report is some 6 months old now with status "Need info". I'll set
status to "Works for me" and I'll leave it open for at most another month, or
until you've reacted here (whichever comes first).

Thanks
