Comment (by mdavis):

 This is due to the current behaviour of the ConcaveHullOfPolygons
 algorithm in JTS/GEOS.  It allows the hull to be eroded past the point
 where the output is fully connected.  In contrast, the ConcaveHull
 algorithm for points ensures that the output is a single connected
 polygon.  I can't remember why this decision was made - perhaps it was
 just an oversight.  It should be possible to require that the output is
 fully connected.
