Comment (by pramsey):

 The right answer pops out when it's just a point/line distance, so the
 problem must line in the containment test.
 {{{
 WITH data AS (
   SELECT
     'CIRCULARSTRING(7874821 8715927,8907663 8715927,8844683
 7750316,7937800 7750316,7874821 8715927)'::geometry AS a,
     'POINT(5433865 8243495)'::geometry AS b
 )
 SELECT ST_Distance(a, b), a && b AS bbox_intersect FROM data;
 }}}
