Bu this leaves water hanging around the rafters. Is that such a
good idea?

It was temporary in-loft fix. It would be fine if the tiles are fine.

Except in this case we know that they are not. There is an ongoing
annual maintenance due to rusted and failing nails and the OP is not
able to do a re-roof yet.

Temporary fixes have a habit of lasting longer than intended.


When
replacing the tiles you baton properly and fit the Tyvek on the outside of
the rafters.

I don't disagree there, but the idea of taping things up and
restricting ventilation such that water can collect around the wood is
not wise.

having once owned a house like this and originally in similar
condition, I feel that it would be a far more practical and safer
solution to put in some low cost fibre or Rockwool batts as has been
suggested around the outside of the bedroom to at least keep that
reasonably warm for now, and then to reuse or even throw it away when
a proper job can be done to the roof.
