Mark,

Is it fairly trivial to change the elog in lwgeom_geos.c to your fancy errhint so that when the error is thrown the user 
has an idea where the problem occurs?

The attached patch seems to work, but I got lost when trying to limit the output of the LWGEOMCOLLECTION to the first 
say 128 characters of the WKT representation.

Cheers,
Kevin
