Comment:

 I think what we should _do_ with bad geometries is: load them.
 As of PostGIS 2.0 the IsValid function can deal with any kind of geometry,
 no matter how bad it is. This means you can implement your custom handling
 within the database.

 For this reason, I'm closing this bug as "works for me". Feel free to
 reopen if you really think the loader should be doing more than
 "loading"...
