ST_Intersects(geometry, empty) not returning false

[wiki]

The wiki http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/DevWikiEmptyGeometry states that ST_Intersects(geometry, empty) should return false, but it results in an error:

ERROR: Relate Operation called with a LWGEOMCOLLECTION type. This is unsupported. HINT: Change argument 2: 'GEOMETRYCOLLECTION EMPTY'

select * from some_table where "intersects"("geometry"('POINT(40.0 10.0)'), tablerow_area);

will not work if any tablerow_area is "geometry"('POLYGON EMPTY').

This won't be changing in 1.5, as that would be a behavior change. The new behavior is reflected in trunk which will be PostGIS 2.0.
