PL/PgSQL Create/Drop Table Issue

I believe I've found a problem in creating and dropping tables within
PL/PgSQL functions. If you create a table, do some work with it, then
drop it from within a PL/PgSQL function, it will work correctly the
first time through. On subsequent executions of the function, however,
attempting to insert data into the table will result in an error. The
error report follows as does a script which demonstrates the issue clearly.

====  START OF ERROR OUTPUT  ====
