Can autovacuum just set a flag on the orphaned temp table's pg_class record indicating it's been determined to be an orphan? Then other tools could easily list orphaned tables and offer to delete them.

I think the right solution is to do exactly what you rejected
upthread, namely adding some kind of stack to track the last time this
was printed.

I really doubt that the problem is worth so much effort. Your handwavy
solution doesn't work, I think, because you are ignoring the problem
that this code is executed in relatively short-lived processes that
aren't all examining the same database.  By the time you got to a
solution that did work it'd be pretty complicated.
