Comment(by strk):

 Weird bug. It is normal that a switch changes the behavior.
 The behaviour you're seeing is exactly the expected one (for the loader
 part).

 Instead, you may argue that the postgis parsers (WKB end WKT) behave
 differently.
 For me, it is the WKB parser acting the correct way, as you can always
 check
 for validity after import.
