Comment:

 The geography described by those points is not invalid.  The documentation
 says that st_isvalid only works on geometry (not geography).
 http://postgis.refractions.net/docs/ST_IsValid.html  As such it won't
 correctly validate the geography that I was using to demonstrate this
 problem.  This is a polygon that wraps around the north pole which isn't
 possible as a geometry object in postgis but should be possible as
 geography.
