If unpackWARs is true then the WAR is unpacked and the unpacked files
are used to load the application.

To the best of my knowledge, it does.

The directory is only generated if unpackWARs is true. Tomcat should
never, and doesn't as far as I am aware, unpack the WAR and the load
the app from the WAR.
You should also bear in mind that using antiJARLocking and/or
antiResourceLocking will also cause additional copies of files to be made.
