Hi! :) That's a known postges 'problem', one which, I guess, every
pg-newbie encounters, especialy if he/she came from other RDBMSes. (I
personaly came from MSSQL).

Postgres parsed your function, and compilled it, when first run. When
doing so it refferenced your 'test' temp table via the oid. You do drop
the table at the end of the proc, but prepared query plan for that
function still references the OID that temp table had when it did
exists. So, you need to stop postgres to 'prepare' query plan for that
table. You do so by EXECUTEing the desired query, in your case:
FOR res IN EXECUTE SELECT x FROM test LOOP
...
It is more convinient to add the SQL query to a variable, and then exec
that variable, like so:
_SQL := 'SELECT a, b FROM tmpTable WHERE colText=' ||
quote_literal(someParametar);
FOR res IN EXECUTE _SQL LOOP
...
