Comment(by strk):

 So back to the reason _why_ Polygonize is getting invalid input, I see
 that ST_MakeValid is trying to ensure correct input noding using a
 LWGEOM_GEOS_nodeLines function.

 Well, the return from such function doesn't pass the ST_IsSimple test,
 which is probably a good way to detect proper noding.

 LWGEOM_GEOS_nodeLines is running a GEOSUnion between the line and one of
 its endpoints. I've also tried calling GEOSUnaryUnion with no luck.

 So next issue is: GEOSUnion (and GEOSUnaryUnion) incorrectly node lines.
