This likely caused by recent commit of mine on systems with no write
access to remote directory (at least, I am unable to reproduce the steps
on my system).

Can you please try the attached patch?

Subject: [PATCH] ob-core: Fix nil value of
 `org-babel-temporary-stable-directory'

* lisp/ob-core.el: Fallback the value of
`org-babel-temporary-stable-directory' to
`org-babel-temporary-directory' if there are issues with directory
creation.

Fixes https://yhetil.org/emacs-devel/87sfnfhm6v.fsf@yandex.com
