Comment(by pramsey):

 Aha, I can now make the geometry ND index crash too, by putting an SRID on
 the geometry.
 {{{
 create table test (g geometry);
 create index gt on test using gist (g gist_geometry_ops_nd);
 insert into test (g) select st_setsrid('POLYGON EMPTY'::geometry,4326)
 from generate_series(1,300);
 }}}
 I still don't know why the crash happens, but the geography-vs-geometry
 part is gone, this is a problem with the ND index and empty gserialized
 that have srids on them.
