Comment(by strk):
The polygon ring has 7 points, but it's a 4 sides polygon. So 2 vertices
are very close to other vertices.
I'd love to have a function (in postgis) to analyze these cases and answer
questions like: what's the minimum distance between two consecutive
vertices ? what's the minimum distance between any two vertices ?
Simplifying the geometry with a tolerance of 1e-10 is enough to fix the
invalidity, but anyway the robustness problem exists. I didn't try with
JTS but I suspect it may be an issue there as well.
