I posted it to the pgsql-hackers list, but I did not seem to get through.

Not even sure if this is a bug or a feature :)

When I create a temp table and then try to copy some data into the
table, if the data is corrupt and the synchronization is lost - the
table also seems to get lost.

For example
create temp table words(aa varchar(254));
copy words from stdin;
some stuff
more stuff
corrupt line\tline\tline
more\tstuff
and yet more stuff
\.

(replace ''\t'' with the real tabs to break the synchronization)

after that,

select * from words;
ERROR:  Relation "words" does not exist
