This is intentional.

I don't understand why.

It's presumed that the right to create tables within a database entails
the right to create them someplace; hence no permissions check is made
on the database's default tablespace.  Without that, not only does plain
CREATE TABLE fail (including CREATE TEMP TABLE), but any query complex
enough to require a temporary file would fail as well.  So you'd pretty
much have to grant rights on the tablespace to every user of the database
anyway.

If only temporary objects are problem I think better solution is to create pg_temp tablespace which will be used as default for temporary data (if temp_tablespaces is not set) and this table space will have create rights for everyone. It should be stored in separate directory (e.g. data/pg_temp).

Maybe add temp flag to tablespace should make sense - It will mean that only temporary object can be created in this tablespace.
