Comment (by robe):

 aha - found it - add box is happening via geography_serialize via the
 gserialized_from_lwgeom call.  So it seems our change to not add a box to
 point and 2 point linestring for geometry inadvertently affected
 geography_from_text?

 http://postgis.net/docs/doxygen/2.3/da/d21/g__serialized_8c_a0b9fd37dce2089c4fecb8a23ed102323.html#a0b9fd37dce2089c4fecb8a23ed102323

 shouldn't that be changed then to also consider if a geodetic flag is set
 and just do the right thing?
