No, they are left behind by the PCs (most likely by office). 

If they were created by the NAS, they would be popping up even when no PCs were connected to the NAS.  You can confirm by creating a test share that the PCs can't access, and you will find that no *.TMP files show up in them.  You can also look at the creation times of the files, and confirm that they are being created during working hours.

From what I've read, the problem occurs when the PC user is editing a file that is owned by someone else, and they don't have the rights needed to change the ownership.  In particular, the PC user needs modify permission.

Try going into a share where this is happening from a Windows PC, and right-click a file or folder inside the share (not the share root).  Then look at the security tab, and see if "modify" is set for "Everyone".  It likely will take several seconds before the security checkmarks are filled in by Windows.
