Comment (by strk):

 I dont' think ST_Simplify should ever turn curves to lines. The reason to
 call ST_Simplify, generally, is to reduce the number of vertices. Curves
 already have less vertices than lines so why move from curves to lines ?

 How about just leave the curves as they are and simplify the linear parts
 ?
 Caller can always decide to ST_CurveToLine before feeding ST_Simplify...
