 You might know about this one already since I recall you saying you were
 having issues with dump.

 SELECT ST_Dump(ST_GeomFromText('POINT EMPTY',4326))

 On non-gserialized returns empty record set as I would expect.

 On gserialized gives error:
 ERROR:  WKB structure does not match expected size!

 I wonder if this is related to the fact that I can't get a POINT EMPTY
 back EVER - this is the case with both gserialized and non-gserialized
 installs.

 SELECT ST_AsEWKT(ST_GeomFromEWKT('POINT EMPTY'));

 Gives:
 MULTIPOINT EMPTY

 A little bizarre if you's ask me.
