Comment(by robe):

 Behaves the same in 1.5.  Whether we want to bother fixing for 1.5 is
 another issue.

 I think our ST_Envelope is native and not from GEOS. In fact casting to
 Box2d yields the same.


 {{{
 SELECT 'POLYGON ((0 0, 10 0, 10 10, 0 10, 0 0), (1 1, 1 2, 2 2, 2 1, 1
 -20, 1 1))'::geometry::box2d

 -- outputs
 BOX(0 0,10 10)
 }}}

 Didn't even think we cared about validity as far as box determination is
 concerned.
