 Replying to [comment:10 gitai]:
 > I expect to get an error passing a geometry to a geography interface
 (e.g use_spheroid overload), which would surface the mix up instantly.

 Yes, I see your point here. This is what I meant earlier about discussing

 just guess that it is an autocast that is happening from what you
 describe. Haven't had time to look at it).

 Let's wait for the gurus to comment :)
