Alas, no. I get:
drop trigger run_chaged_tr on runs_tmp;
ERROR: RelationBuildTriggers: tgargs IS NULL for rel runs_tmp

In fact, anything I try to do to runs_tmp I get the same above error, select, delete, drop...
This table is not important and if I could blow it and the trigger away, that would be great.
