It was considered a performance improvement - i.e. a feature - rather
than a bug fix, so it was only added to master. That was after the
release of 9.2 and before the release of 9.3, so it's in newer
branches but not older ones.

Skip truncating ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS temp tables, if the transaction hasn't touched any temporary tables.
We could try harder, and keep track of whether we've inserted to any temp tables, rather than accessed them, and
whichtemp tables have been inserted to. But this is dead simple, and already covers many interesting scenarios.
I'd support back-porting that commit to 9.1 and 9.2 as a fix for this
problem. As the commit message says, it's dead simple.
