Comment (by Rong Xiao <akelux@…>):

 I think this IS a bug according to the mathematical definition of a convex
 hull of a set of points, c.f. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convex_hull.

 The convex hull one point is the point itself; the convex hull of two
 distinct points are the line segment between the two points.
