That's pretty bizarre, but what makes you think it has anything to do
with temp tables? OID 2678 is pg_index_indexrelid_index itself.
It looks to me like you must have duplicate rows in pg_index for that
index (and maybe others?), and the problem is exposed during vacuum full
because it tries to rebuild the indexes.
Could we see the output of
select ctid,xmin,xmax,* from pg_index where indexrelid in
(select indexrelid from pg_index group by 1 having count(*)>1);
