We use Postgres to store polygons and I asked this same question before. The
reply I got was that the geometric data types were not guaranteed to be
converted to TOASTable data types (they were at the bottom of the list of types
to convert). They hinted that I could help them with this but I have no time.
Has this changed now? Will the geometric data types be TOASTable for 7.1?
