Fwd: Creation of temporary tables on a publisher

Here are the commands and the log showing how you can recreate this issue
(bold added):

SQL:
CREATE PUBLICATION TESTPUB FOR ALL TABLES;

BEGIN;

*CREATE TEMP TABLE testing123 ON COMMIT DROP AS ( SELECT 1 AS updated_by );*
UPDATE testing123 SET updated_by = 2;

COMMIT;

LOG:
psql (11.1 (Ubuntu 11.1-1.pgdg18.04+1), server 10.6 (Ubuntu
10.6-1.pgdg18.04+1))
SSL connection (protocol: TLSv1.2, cipher: ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384,
bits: 256, compression: off)
You are now connected to database "testpublications" as user "cnemelka".
localhost cnemelka(at)testpublications=# \e
CREATE PUBLICATION
Time: 2.004 ms
BEGIN
Time: 0.115 ms
SELECT 1
Time: 2.376 ms
*ERROR: 55000: cannot update table "testing123" because it does not have a
replica identity and publishes updates*
HINT: To enable updating the table, set REPLICA IDENTITY using ALTER TABLE.
LOCATION: CheckCmdReplicaIdentity, execReplication.c:564
Time: 0.483 ms
COMMIT
Time: 1.876 ms

*As you can see, despite being a temporary table, testing123 appears to
think that it will be replicated. Can we get around this? Yes. The
question is: Is this expected behaviour?*
