Comment (by mdavis):

 To refine that idea a bit, for a given area A the shape with the largest
 distance to the boundary is a circle.  So the radius of the circle of area
 A is a lower bound on the negative buffer distance which will cause a
 shape to be eroded completely. This is a good optimization to add to the
 buffer code, and it might prevent this sort of issue, in large part.
