Perhaps I am missing something, but it would be just more simple to
now allow users to restrict that?

In this case the OID remains the same, still there are some cases
where we rely on the namespace name, and one is CLUSTER.
objectaddress.c uses as well get_namespace_name_or_temp(), which would
be messed up, so it would be better to prevent a temp namespace to be
renamed. Could ALTER SCHEMA OWNER TO also be a problem?
