For sure.

session1:

l=> begin;
BEGIN
l=> create function pg_temp.foo() returns void as $$ begin end; $$ 
language plpgsql;
CREATE FUNCTION
l=> prepare transaction 'z';
PREPARE TRANSACTION
l=> \q

session2:

l=> create temp table t();
^CCancel request sent
... blabla when inserting (0,15) into "pg_namespace_nspname_index" ... 
(sorry, server was running in non-english locale)


reprocuced in master and in 10.5

The weird thing is the lock comes on namespace level locking against 
creating any temporary object.
It isn't the case for without prepared transactions, neither can it be 
achieved with CREATE TEMP TABLE only with no functions involved.

I cannot reproduce it on 10.5.

Will try on master later and get back to you if I have any luck.
