Comment #3 on issue 145 by robe.... at cityofboston.gov: POLYGON( EMPTY) is  
unparseable

Actually using the ST_Area was how we discovered the issue too when it  
broke our code
using ST_Area with that getPoint2d_p.  And on inspection it seemed that  
Buffer was
just returning a POLYGON( EMPTY) which would otherwise be fine except we  
don't seem
to know how to parse POLYGON(EMPTY).  Shouldn't POLYGON(EMPTY) be a valid  
construct?
  Though as Leo said its POLYGON(spaceEMPTY) its returning or at least that  
is how
PostGIS interprets it.

Now for Paul's example -- testing on my Windows 8.3 1.4/3.1.0 install it  
doesn't
crash   -- I get this

ERROR:  geometry contains non-closed rings
