Thanks jlliagre & otheus. I think that's the conclusion Dave came to, too. What confused me was the output from df -kh ., with the /home/myuser next to the 100%, and not, say, /home or /home/some-subgroup. I had never seen users mentioned there and I interpreted it wrong. I thought du and df would then both measure the same thing. Actually, now I think there may be a process running amok somewhere (which doesn't belong to me), because I did manage to clean up a few M of files and the space was taken up immediately.
otheus, I considered that but since many posts on the du/df difference suggested admins might have to reboot the machine to fix the problem, I figured /tmp wasn't the best place. Luckily there is another scratch directory somewhere in which I can work :-) Of course I could also take Sunday off, but I like working when it's nice and quiet (and then taking off during the week when there's too much going on).
