Comment (by strk):

 Ok I think I got it: the non-noded input in the documentation would have
 resulted in only 2 polygons out of Polygonizer, and the iterative
 symdifference would result in the given image.

 Now, with the new algorithm, you just never get that result from that
 input with ST_BuildArea.
 But you can get it with ST_MakeValid, if the input is an invalid
 MULTIPOLYGON
