 This is pretty puzzling.
 Load attached dataset, then:

 {{{
 -- This query says none of the 3 polygons contain the point
 =# select gid, ST_Within(
 ST_GeomFromText('POINT (-115.04252 36.05137)', -1), the_geom
 ) from foo_reload;

 -- This query says polygon 3 does contain the point
 =# select gid, ST_Within(
 ST_GeomFromText('POINT (-115.04252 36.05137)', -1), the_geom
 ) from foo_reload where gid = 3;

 }}}

 Storing the point geometry into a table makes no difference.
 Geometry number 3 really contains the point. The other two don't.

 I've tested this with PostgreSQL 8.4.3, PostGIS 2.0.0SVN and GEOS 3.3.0dev
