 >So the fact you happened to waltz into the right geography function when
 passing your geometries in is nothing we can  protect you from short of
 removing the autocast ...

 Which is exactly the scope of the ticket ... I'm not familiar with source
 to hold a discussion as to why removing the autocast from ST_Distance
 requires also removing autocast from all other functions, which appears to
 be why this issue is rejected, but probably there is reason..
