No, that sort of thing would still allow the backend to shut down cleanly.

It would definitely be worth looking around to see if you have any temp
tables that shouldn't be there. I think you can just do
\dt pg_temp_*.*
in psql (as superuser) to see what's out there. Figuring out which ones
are live sessions' temp tables might be harder, though.
