Comment (by dbaston):

 It looks like the problem is unique to the C API, and affects all
 functions that produce a geometry as an output.

 When a GEOS Geometry is created, it is given the SRID of its
 GeometryFactory. However, the C API does not use the concept of a
 GeometryFactory and provides no access to it. When the C API function
 GEOSSetSRID is called, it sets the SRID of an individual geometry, but
 leaves the GeometryFactory untouched.

 Any objections to resolving this at the C API level, by setting the SRID
 of created geometries to match their inputs?
