Comment(by robe):

 Is this really a bug?  I would say its invalid.  ST_Equals is supposed to
 return false in this case is my understanding because the boundaries of
 the geometry are not well formed.

 Therefore you can't say it is or isn't spatially equal to itself. Is outer
 space = outer space?  I've always accepted this as a given.  Am I missing
 something?
