Comment:

 This is user error, not a bug. ST_Distance against lonlats will return
 not-useful-in-real-world numbers. Your third column, a linear scaling of
 lonlats won't return correct answers outside of a very local area (and
 will have a directional bias built into it too). Use the geography type
 for exact answers on longlat inputs.
