I got the above output when I created a new data directory and initdb'd it.

/tmp shows:

     4 -rw-------  1 thom    thom           55 2012-03-06 16:22
.s.PGSQL.5488.lock
     0 srwxrwxrwx  1 thom    thom            0 2012-03-06 16:22 .s.PGSQL.5488

Once it's up and running.  These disappear after though.  When using
the old data directory again, there's no evidence of anything like
this in /tmp.
