Comment:

 I think that error is fine.  If you have no rasters in the table
 populate_geometry_columns doesn't know what type it is since its an empty
 tables.  Its also a heterogenous column (would have different polygons of
 different srids so not terribly useful to insert with
 populate_geometry_columns.

 I recall Pierre and Jorge were thinking of scrapping it anyway since for
 later loaded tables is not of much use. (that last part I could be wrong
 about).
