Commit e85cd10 introduce a logic bug of ST_Covers

[cuteDen-ECNU]

Consider the following statement:

SELECT ST_Covers(a1, a2) FROM ST_GeomFromText('MULTIPOLYGON(((1 0,0 1,-1 0,0 -1, 1 0)))') As a1, ST_GeomFromText('MULTIPOINT(EMPTY,(0 0)) ') As a2;
-- actual{f}, expected{t}

The result should be true, according to libgeos/geos#988.
It seems to be a regression bug.

git bisect helps find the introducing commit: e85cd10.

Using commit 66be3a6 to install PostGIS, the correct result can be obtained:

psql:script/simplify.sql:1: NOTICE:  lwgeom_api.c [352] called with n=0 and npoints=0
 st_covers 
-----------
 t
(1 row)

While when git checkout e85cd10, and install PostGIS, the incorrect result:

 st_covers 
-----------
 f
(1 row)

The version is the latest successful CI/CD build version.
