The version of ST_Resize I used expresses the new size in term
of fraction of the original size. It's the flavor taking floats
rather than integer. So basically it's supposedly the same as asking
it to "rescale" it. 

ST_Resample has nothing to do with this. I'm referring to:

 ST_Resize:  http://postgis.net/docs/RT_ST_Resize.html
 ST_Rescale: http://postgis.net/docs/RT_ST_Rescale.html

Documentation is not very complete about them:
http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/ticket/2833

I've filed the topology corruption here:

Did you have a chance to test it ?
