Well, yeah, you could remove it. It's inappropriate. The right place
for such an error check is an attempt to actually access any data within
a temp table, ie someplace in localbuf.c. There is no reason a worker
shouldn't be allowed to look at the catalog entries for a temp table;
they're just like any other catalog entries.
