I execute your code, with its data, in my system, with the following
results: One of the polygons has been eliminated, just like as in
their case. In addition, my result, it has more vertices. In the
attached image you can see the differences (or at least part of them).
I don't know which is the reason for the difference in resolution
(number of vertices).

My result:

POLYGON ((566725.8376634184969589 6131923.2451023338362575,
