I did some more experimentation and seems like distance between point and a
polygon only works for Cartesian coordinates. I tried spherical,
sperical_equatorial, and geographic - none work, but Cartesian compiles
fine and returns a distance.

I guess some specialization is missing, but I am not sure how to solve it.
