tracking down temp files

is there some way to determine the query that creates the file

It is the proc id. Perhaps the backend crashed. If so, a postmaster
restart clears those sort directories.

Hmm... when I see those files created I look in pg_stat_activity, but I don't
see any corresponding query... shouldn't I?

Yes, you should unless the backend died unexpectedly in which case they
would be left around until postmaster restart.
