Hum, I'm skeptical that directly feeding a OGRLinearRing has ever worked. You
should try instead to add it to a OGRPolygon, and then pass the polygon as the
spatial filter.

GEOS isn't strictly required for spatial filter to work. If it is available,
genuine interesection tests will be made when necessary. If not available, only
tests based on bounding box comparison will be made.
