Martin,

I ran into something like this last night on Linux. The data were 
points digitized using QGis 0.7. Ogrinfo reported this shapefile as 
containing 3D points, and getGeometryType returned an invalid value. I 
used ogr2ogr with -nlt POINT to coerce these into "normal" points with 
GeometryType 1.
