I was just wondering where the /File/System/Location/ of a users current wallpaper is stored in OS X 10.5. Something like how the default login windows wallpaper is stored at /System/Library/CoreServices/DefaultDesktop.jpg

A: 

Information about the current desktop picture of each desktop (i.e. monitor) is available through the System Events AppleScript interface. For example:

tell application "System Events"
    get picture of its first desktop
end tell

does OSX pull the image from there. My question is where does the system keep a consistently named cache copy of the image?

See the Desktop Suite section of System Events.sdef in the AppleScript Script Editor.app for more details of the script interface. And perhaps if you could elaborate on what you are trying to do, a better answer could be formulated.
