Comment (by pramsey):

 At r14359 I've put in a test for geodetic pretty deep in the serialization
 logic. Basically all geographies get boxes always. I'm not 100% sure of
 this, but it makes a fair amount of sense, since you cannot just read the
 boxes of geographies off the raw coordinates, so there's always
 calculation involved and the information should be cached.
