While not really an issue in functionality, after starting Bitmessage I'll start to see a high amount of writes to my HDD. While the amount of data isn't big (a small 600kB/s) it does this to several hundred temporary files before deleting them.

The file in question is messages.dat-journal, these seem to be of a small 4kB in size. Why are these written to disk before getting deleted?

After doing a restart of my desktop (which is running Windows 8), the writes stopped locking up my HDD and the overall write amount went down to 200kB/s. I think you can disregard these numbers and it was just an issue with my configuration.
