Comment(by ravenAtSafe):

 The following access attempts all result in the same error:

 select geom from single_point_linestring
 select ST_AsBinary(geom) from single_point_linestring
 select ST_asEWKT(geom) from single_point_linestring

 Maybe there is some clever cast that would prevent PostGIS from trying to
 interpret the geometry, but I don't know what that might be.

 I am agnostic on whether PostGIS should be able to output single point
 linestrings - my complaint is that it is possible to insert data that
 cripples your dataset.  I don't know how you could even identify the bad
 rows to remove them.
