Yeah, it's not very clear why that would happen, but if it does,
showing "pg_temp" seems pretty misleading. I tried replacing the
code with just get_namespace_name_or_temp(), and it still gets
through check-world, for whatever that's worth.
I'm inclined to change this in HEAD but leave it alone in the back
branches. While it seems pretty bogus, it's not clear if anyone
out there could be relying on the current behavior.
