Indeed it seems that you need to have CREATE to do that. There
might be a good reason for it, but the only thing I can think
of is disk usage.

Well, I guess it depends on what you need to do. One possibility
would be to have a database that you only use for temporary tables,
and give the user CREATE on that. It's a pretty clean solution,
except that it'd give you two rows in mysql.db instead of just one,
and you'd have to use database.table[.column] when accessing it.
