Consider the following reproducer:

1. emacs -Q
2. Evaluate the following in scratch buffer

(with-temp-buffer
  (insert "test")
  (write-region nil nil "/tmp/1.txt"))

3. Open /tmp/1.txt
4. Evaluate the above sexp multiple times
5. Observe

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
  expand-file-name(nil)
  userlock--check-content-unchanged("/tmp/1.txt")
  userlock--ask-user-about-supersession-threat("/tmp/1.txt")
  write-region(nil nil "/tmp/1.txt")
  (progn (insert "test") (write-region nil nil "/tmp/1.txt"))
  (unwind-protect (progn (insert "test") (write-region nil nil "/tmp/1.txt")) (and (buffer-name temp-buffer) (kill-buffer temp-buffer)))
  (save-current-buffer (set-buffer temp-buffer) (unwind-protect (progn (insert "test") (write-region nil nil "/tmp/1.txt")) (and (buffer-name temp-buffer) (kill-buffer temp-buffer))))
  (let ((temp-buffer (generate-new-buffer " *temp*" t))) (save-current-buffer (set-buffer temp-buffer) (unwind-protect (progn (insert "test") (write-region nil nil "/tmp/1.txt")) (and (buffer-name temp-buffer) (kill-buffer temp-buffer)))))
  (progn (let ((temp-buffer (generate-new-buffer " *temp*" t))) (save-current-buffer (set-buffer temp-buffer) (unwind-protect (progn (insert "test") (write-region nil nil "/tmp/1.txt")) (and (buffer-name temp-buffer) (kill-buffer temp-buffer))))))
  elisp--eval-last-sexp(nil)
  eval-last-sexp(nil)
  funcall-interactively(eval-last-sexp nil)

Expected: No error is thrown.
