The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference:      14534
Logged by:          Balazs Peter
Email address:      balazs@obiserver.hu
PostgreSQL version: 9.6.1
Operating system:   Debian GNU/Linux 9
Description:

test=# create table test.testtable (id bigserial not null primary key, t
text not null);
CREATE TABLE
test=# alter table test.testtable rename to _testtable;
ERROR:  type "_testtable" already exists

There is no, believe me!

test=# alter table test.testtable rename to testtable2;
ALTER TABLE
test=# alter table test.testtable2 rename to _testtable;
ALTER TABLE

Now it's possible? :)

Yes, there is ... it's the name given to the array type over the
table's composite type.
