Running Postgres 9.1.3. As far as I can tell, when you do an 'alter table' and add a new column with a new default value a temp table is created and tracked by the extension as a new object, but when the 'alter table' statement tries to drop the temp table at the end, the extension complains. I recreated it with a simple test case. I've attached the test extension, but I think the important piece is this line from the update script:
alter table t1 add column created_at timestamp with time zone not null
default now();
Example output:
postgres=# SELECT version();
version
