Comment(by robe):

 But to add very disturbingly.

 For the gserialized while the ST_GeomFromText is false,

 The answer to this:
 SELECT ST_OrderingEquals(foo1.the_geom, foo1.the_geom) As result
         FROM (
                  (SELECT ST_GeomFromEWKT('SRID=4326;GEOMETRYCOLLECTION
 EMPTY') As the_geom )
                 ) As foo1 ;


 Is True.  It's as if the GeomFromEWKT and FromText are creating two
 different things indistiguishable from each other in text but binary
 different.
