wkt strings derived from loading via epsg code do not validate - esri_extra.wkt

[Kurt Schwehr]

I'm having a bit of trouble with EPSG:3857 in gdal 1.11.0, which got me looking at esri_extra.wkt. 3857 loaded up gives a WKT that was not validating.

OGRSpatialReference::Validate Parsing error : syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting ']'. Error occured around:
ts=m +nadgrids=@null +wktext  +no_defs"],AUTHORITY["EPSG","3857"]]

input_spatial_reference.Validate() -> OGRERR_CORRUPT_DATA

I made a quick c++ program with 1.10.0 to try to validate all of the epsg codes in esri_extra.wkt... sketched:

  string wkt_csv_path(CSVFilename("esri_extra.wkt")); 
  FILE *wkt_csv = VSIFOpen( wkt_csv_path.c_str(), "rb" );
  char **fields = nullptr;

  while (nullptr != (fields = CSVReadParseLine(wkt_csv))) {
    const int field_count = CSLCount(fields);
    if (field_count < 2) {
      continue;
    }
    const string wkt_str(fields[0]);
    if (wkt_str.size() == 0 || wkt_str[0] == '#') {
      continue;
    }
    int epsg = atoi(fields[0]);
    OGRSpatialReference srs;
    srs.importFromEPSG(epsg);
    if (srs.Validate()) {
      cerr << "epsg validated: " << epsg << "\n";
    } else {
      cerr << ">>>>>>>>>>>>>> epsg FAILED: " << epsg << "\n";
    }
  }
  // Missing a free call above

A snip of the output. Shouldn't everything validate?
