7.4 ERROR: CREATE LOCAL TEMPORARY TABLE ... ON COMMIT DROP inside a function - Mailing list pgsql-general

I found a post about something similar in an older release:
    http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2002-08/msg00151.php

Here's the issue.  Inside a function I'm calling
        CREATE LOCAL TEMPORARY TABLE ds_copy_item_meta ( LIKE
merchandise.item_meta EXCLUDING DEFAULTS ) on COMMIT DROP;

Of course it might be that the ON COMMIT DROP is redundant, I don't know
enough about temp tables.  Here's the problem, however, the first call of
the table works fine.  The second call it complains about a bad OID.  Could
it be that the bug that was fixed for regular temporary tables (without an
on commit modifier) somehow didn't get fixed for this construct?

The work-around has been to just not use the modifier, but I was surprised
by the OID error and think it might be incorrect behavior.
