Wow, I don't have a clue how we missed this. Clearly, the polygon code
never worked -- the last else statement there was meant to catch it, but
never did anything with the text it started to create.

I've applied a similar fix to the one you recommended, with the addition
of an exception when a geometry isn't created. This may mean that you
will bump into other cases where FeatureServer complains more loudly now
-- if this is the case, please let me know and I will fix them.

I've uploaded FS 1.05 to fix this issue. (And your name is in the
changelog.)

Thanks!
