Comment(by realityexists):

 Another test case:

 {{{
 SELECT ST_Intersects('LINESTRING(-176 52,178 53)'::geography,
 'LINESTRING(-176.3 52,-176.1 52.1)'::geography),
         ST_AsText(ST_Intersection('LINESTRING(-176 52,178 53)'::geography,
 'LINESTRING(-176.3 52,-176.1 52.1)'::geography))
 }}}

 ST_Intersects returns true here (as of 2.0.0 release), but ST_Intersection
 returns GEOMETRYCOLLECTION EMPTY.
