try this way:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION testseq() RETURNS void AS
$BODY$
 BEGIN
  EXECUTE 'CREATE TEMP SEQUENCE test';
  PERFORM testseq1();
  DROP SEQUENCE test;
  RETURN;
 END;
$BODY$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;
ALTER FUNCTION testseq() OWNER TO postgres;


CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION testseq1() RETURNS void AS
$BODY$
 DECLARE I INTEGER;
 BEGIN
  EXECUTE 'select nextval(''test'')' INTO I;
raise notice '%', I;
  RETURN;
 END;
$BODY$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;
ALTER FUNCTION testseq1() OWNER TO postgres;

SELECT testseq();
SELECT testseq();


is the same problem as with temp tables, you must put their creation,
and in this case even the nextval in an execute...
