Comment(by aaime):

 Wondering, why isn't a "bbox" simplification being considered?

 If the geometry is so small that the bbox is smaller than the
 simplification distance, why not replace a line with a valid diagonal line
 across the bbox, a polygon with a triangle fitting the bbox, and a point
 or multipoint, with a single point centered in the bbox?
