Hi Steffen,
you are right,
really alternativeTempPath for IMAGE acts like you said - by changing 
->tempPath

if ($fileArray['alternativeTempPath'] && 
t3lib_div::inList($GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['allowedTempPaths'],$fileArray['alternativeTempPath'])) 
{
	$gifCreator->tempPath = $fileArray['alternativeTempPath'];
	$GLOBALS['TT']->setTSlogMessage('Set 
alternativeTempPath:'.$fileArray['alternativeTempPath']);
}

the point here that there is no such config for GIFBUILDER images.
I think alternativeTempPath property should be added to GIFBUILDER too.
