Comment (by awulkiew):

 Thanks for the report.

 By default `bg::model::polygon` is clockwise and closed (the last point
 must be equal to the first one). On the other hand the polygons you
 defined in WKT are not. To fix it you may:
 1. Pass closed WKTs
 2. Call `bg::correct()` after reading the polygon from WKT
 3. Use open polygon type, e.g. `bg::model::polygon<point_type, true,
 false>`

 Can you confirm that this is not a bug?
