Thank you for the patch. I've looked at the patch and have one question.

 /*
  * XACT_FLAGS_ACCESSEDTEMPREL - set when a temporary relation is accessed. We
  * don't allow PREPARE TRANSACTION in that case.
  */
 #define XACT_FLAGS_ACCESSEDTEMPREL              (1U << 0)
(snip)
 +/*
+ * XACT_FLAGS_ACCESSEDTEMPNAMESPACE - set when a temporary namespace is
+ * accessed.  We don't allow PREPARE TRANSACTION in that case.
+ */
+#define XACT_FLAGS_ACCESSEDTEMPNAMESPACE        (1U << 2)

The cases where we set XACT_FLAGS_ACCESSEDTEMPNAMESPACE seems to
include the cases setting XACT_FLAGS_ACCESSEDTEMPREL. Is there any
path where we access a temporary relation without accessing temprary
namespace?
