This is documented in namespace.c which needs tricks related to
search_path if referring directly to 'pg_temp', especially if the
namespace creation is marked as pending because its creation cannot
happen outside a transaction context, and the initialization
processing of search_path happens out of that.
Please let me suggest the attached patch then to switch the function
as parallel unsafe, for HEAD. That still seems like the best way of
course for now after sleeping on it.
Thoughts?
