Autovacuum is complaining about an orphaned temp table. I believe this was
created just before a recent PostgreSQL crash. Is there something I should
do to clean it up?

You could drop that table manually if you're so inclined (probably need
to be superuser to do so), or just wait for it to go away the next time
some session uses the pg_temp_7 temp schema. There's nothing terribly
magic there.
