I hit this error on a Windows try build:
https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=8e677f4aeb0ada16e6909a3a0d4512e3976bd699&selectedJob=30323644

10:25:25 INFO - zip warning: could not open for reading: firefox-52.0a1-WINNT-20161102090639-x86-symbols.txt.tmp

The symbolsarchive target is creating the .tmp file, and so it's racing with the symbolsfullarchive target which is zipping everything in that directory:
https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/annotate/3e73fd638e687a4d7f46613586e5156b8e2af846/Makefile.in#l335

We could just stop generating the symbols.txt files, or at least stop doing the grep here. We're not going to be using them for cleanup anymore, so they don't really serve any purpose.

Bug 1314713 - Stop generating *symbols.txt files as part of dumping/packaging build symbols.

We can actually go a little further in a followup, symbolstore.py can stop printing the filenames as well. Can you file that? Not critical but might as well not print out stuff we don't need.

You can ditch the `-i '*.txt'` bit here now.

I think I'm going to find this useful in bug 1337986 , let's see how that pans out.
