Comment(by dustymugs):

 I don't believe OGR supports curved geometries or any of the newer
 geometry types.  From the GDAL-dev mailing list:

 http://osgeo-org.1803224.n2.nabble.com/Curve-support-in-OGR-td3091607.html

 Yes to assuming it is pure GDAL/OGR.  Specifically, PostGIS passes a WKB
 representation of the geometry to the OGR function OGR_G_CreateFromWkb.
 So, if and when GDAL supports curved geometries, TINs and Polyhedral
 Surfaces, we should be able to make use of it automatically.
