Yes, that's a silly mistake on my part. I changed it to
if ((RelationIsPermanent(seqrel) || !RecoveryInProgress()) &&
!RELATION_IS_OTHER_TEMP(seqrel))
{
...
}
in the attached v2.

I apologize for belaboring this point, but I don't see how we would be
comfortable removing that check unless we are okay with other sessions'
temporary sequences appearing in the view, albeit with a NULL last_value.
This check lives in the WHERE clause today, so if we remove it, we'd no
longer exclude those sequences. Michael and you seem united on this, so I
have a sinking feeling that I'm missing something terribly obvious.

Good call.
