Bug reference:      9578
Logged by:          Jack Douglas
Email address:      jack@douglastechnology.co.uk
PostgreSQL version: 9.3.2
Operating system:   Debian Wheezy 64-bit
Description:

A temp table created inside an SQL function does not override existing
permanent tables with the same name as the documentation here indicates it
should:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/sql-createtable.html#AEN72676

I've reproduced this on the major versions back to 8.4.
