but do i tell them that i would consider, or want, the permanent position, when i'm fairly certain that i will only work ad-interim until next summer? would letting them know that my intentions are to leave after 6 months affect my chances? will lassie make it to the town and back to the well before the storm drowns lil' timmy thompson mcthamerson?

Yes. Make them think it's about them and only them. Look out for your own interests. At the same time it is a 6 month position so you shouldn't feel bad if you choose to leave. But I would be willing to bet someone money that as soon as they divulge the fact that they don't want to be there too long, they will not be hired.
