Comment(by strk):

 But even with somewhat smaller box, segmentized in geometry space, I still
 get a false ?
 {{{
 with params as (
  select st_makeenvelope(-170,-80,170,80,4326) as env, 'POINT(0
 0)'::geography as g
 ) SELECT g && st_segmentize(env::geometry,0.1) from params;
 }}}

 Thinking about it, I actually don't see why segmentize should make any
 difference as we're doing a bbox-only operation... uhm. Is there any way
 we can determine the direction of the box ?
 I mean, couldn't we interpret -180..180  differently than 180..-180 ? The
 former would be 360 degrees, the latter would be 0 degrees.
