Depends on how long this "temporary" situation will be of course. If it's a short time I usually don't bother tagging temporary things. Other point to keep in mind: will you be able to check the area again to see when it changes back? If I see a temporary setup at a location which I won't visit again the next year I map the original situation (if that's possible of course and if you noticed that it's temporary in the first place). It's also quite easy to forget that you've mapped something temporary if you don't visit the place regularly. So, the question is pretty simple then: can you (or someone else) keep an eye on it and will you remember that it's temporary and may have to update it again? If so, then map the temporary setup.
