Comment (by mdavis):

 This change happened in GEOS 3.11 with the switch to an improved offset
 curve algorithm.

 I'll add a [https://github.com/libgeos/geos/blob/main/NEWS.md?plain=1#L160
 GEOS NEWS note] about this being a change in behaviour, so it will be
 captured going forward.

 The PostGIS doc for `ST_OffsetCurve` should be updated to reflect this
 changed behaviour.
