I was actually just about to respond about this one.  This patch
implements the feature in pg_basebackup as well as documenting that it
does not need to be backed up.

I think it should be combined with this item:

Exclude unlogged and temporary tables from streaming base backups

Sometime like:

Exclude unlogged and temporary tables and pg_internal.init from
streaming base backups

Thanks,
