Comment (by pramsey):

 So, doing a little digging into the debugger, I find that:

 * The index distance between the bounds of the polygon and the point is
 exactly 778.
 * Meanwhile, the "exact" distance between the polygon and the point is...
 less.

 {{{
 SELECT ST_Distance(
  'LINESTRING(132700 490000, 133894.531 490000)',
  'POINT(133718 489222)'
 );

     st_distance
 -------------------
  777.9999999999999
 }}}
