" Jukka,
Could you please try with -a_srs epsg:2393 instead of -s_srs epsg:2393,
see http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/4496"

This is funny, but using -a_srs:2393 in the command really leads to correct
result. Following command, even being all wrong with the a_srs, gives good
KML and it also overrides the erroneous prj file.

ogr2ogr -f KML -a_srs epsg:2393  test6.kml test_region.shp
