Why are you so eager to make CREATE TABLE fail? (If you really want to
do that there are other ways, for instance revoking create privilege
within the DB.)
Once you've created a database with a given tablespace as default, the
only way to make it stop using the tablespace is to drop the whole DB;
there are no half measures because you can't move the system catalogs
(particularly not pg_class). So I'm not seeing the point of enforcing
tablespace usage against users of the database rather than at the time
of DB creation.
