New description:

 Consider this query:
 {{{
 SELECT
 ST_3DIntersects(a1, a2)
 FROM ST_GeomFromText('GEOMETRYCOLLECTION Z (POINT Z EMPTY, POINT Z (0 0
 0))') As a1
 , ST_GeomFromText('POINT Z (0 0 0)') As a2;
 --expected{t}; actual{f}
 }}}
 Postgis produces a result of false, but I expected it to produce true. I
 think this is a bug, due to the following 3 reasons:

 1. ST_3DIntersection(a1, a2) returns POINT Z (0 0 0). So the expected
 result of 3DIntersects is true.

 2. Considering the 2D version function, ST_Intersects(a1, a2) returns true
 here:
 {{{
 SELECT
 ST_Intersects(a1, a2)
 FROM ST_GeomFromText('GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(POINT EMPTY, POINT (0 0))') As a1
 , ST_GeomFromText('POINT (0 0)') As a2;
 --expected{t}
 }}}

 3. Making the empty point position behind POINT Z (0 0 0),
 ST_3DIntersection(a1, a2) returns true.
