Comment (by kalenik):

 I went through OGC specification and, yes, it doesn't describe how
 ST_StartPoint should behave for geometries that are not linestrings.
 Should implementer decide whether to return NULL or try to return best
 possible result? Returning something seems like better option than
 returning nothing but it is arguable.
