Comment(by robe):

 I isolated the issue to it happens when my GDAL_DATA path is not set right
 and postgis_full_version() gives --  GDAL_DATA not found

 Couldn't figure out what was wrong with my path, so I retyped it and it
 worked.  That solved the error.

 I still think there is something wrong here though.  Why does it even talk
 about a non-existent SRID.  Almost like its confusing nodata value with an
 srid or something.

 Tested with:

 {{{
 POSTGIS="2.2.0dev r12953" GEOS="3.5.0dev-CAPI-1.9.0 r3989" SFCGAL="1.0.4"
 PROJ="Rel. 4.8.0, 6 March 2012" GDAL="GDAL 1.11.0, released 2014/04/16"
 LIBXML="2.7.8" LIBJSON="0.12" TOPOLOGY RASTER
 }}}

 and if I get rid of my path so I get:

 {{{

 POSTGIS="2.2.0dev r12953" GEOS="3.5.0dev-CAPI-1.9.0 r3989" SFCGAL="1.0.4"
 PROJ="Rel. 4.8.0, 6 March 2012" GDAL="GDAL 1.11.0, released 2014/04/16
 GDAL_DATA not found" LIBXML="2.7.8" LIBJSON="0.12" TOPOLOGY RASTER
 }}}

 Then this very confusing message comes up.
