This is a periodic issue; it typically appears for ten minutes or so and then goes away again. It seems to be due to some kind of internal PostgreSQL maintenance task that locks the creation of temporary tables; when we've looked into it previously the lock seem to show up in any of the usual status tables. When we've discussed it in the past we concluded our best hope was to upgrade to a newer version of PostgreSQL (we're currently on 9.3) and hope that either that fixes the problem or at least gives us more information to go on.
