Comment(by pramsey):

 It's actually an error in the function bindings. The bytea=>geography path
 is bound into the same function as the bytea=>geometry path. Try this:
 {{{
 CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION geography(bytea)
         RETURNS geography
         AS '$libdir/postgis-2.1','geography_from_binary'
         LANGUAGE 'c' IMMUTABLE STRICT;
 }}}
