I’m seeing the same thing as Martin, the output is rectangular. I see it using the JTS test builder. I see it using QGIS.
This is the output, same as you get:
POLYGON((-71.25975582815524 42.470679599674035,-71.25956768540266 42.47056830210077,-71.25960032476851 42.4705131269523,-71.25978846752108 42.470624424525546,-71.25975582815524 42.470679599674035))
It is a rectangle. You can confirm by checking the angle between the first two edges.
select degrees(st_angle('LINESTRING(-71.25975582815524 42.470679599674035,-71.25956768540266 42.47056830210077)', 'LINESTRING(-71.25956768540266 42.47056830210077,-71.25960032476851 42.4705131269523)'));
Which is 90 degrees.
