Do you have a low-risk patch for this?  I recall that we did some
fairly extensive changes involving not only temp tables but the regular
relation cache.  Extracting a patch that could be trusted seems like
it might be tough.

I have been throwing low-risk/high-reward fixes into REL6_5 when I
could, with the thought that we might want to do another 6.5.* release.
But I'm undecided on whether we should or not.  It seems like we are
close enough to 7.0 beta cycle that we should focus our effort there.
