log_temp_files was introduced in 8.3, so we'll need to backpatch this
to 8.3, not just 8.4. Greg Smith tells me Simon has been busy with
other things, so I'm going to pick this up. Barring objections, I'm
going to revert Simon's patch and change the behavior instead, per the
attached patch. I will also back-patch the fix to 8.4 and 8.3.
