That would mean an extra 4 bytes in PGPROC, which is something we could live with, still the use-case looks rather narrow to me to justify that.
I agree the use case is narrow - but it's also pretty critical.
This is a very real way that transaction wraparound can be hit, with no automated or manual way of solving it (apart from randomly terminating backends (you have to search via user and hope there is only one, and that it matches the temp table owner) or restarting Postgres).
I suppose an in-core way of disconnecting idle sessions after x time would work too - but that seems like a sledgehammer approach.
