Comment(by jgilman):

 It seems like this doesn't have to do with an equator at all.  A point at
 45 lon 60 lat, only 20 degrees south of the polygon fails the intersection
 as well.

 select ST_AsText( ST_Intersection( ST_GeogFromText( 'SRID=4326;POLYGON((45
 80,135 80,-135 80,-45 80,45 80))' ), ST_GeogFromText( 'SRID=4326;POINT(45
 60)' ) ) );
