I bet that something is happening to the special Postgis catalog table
for the geometry type when you run this update.  Maybe, say, if you have
two such updates in a transaction, things break.  The innards of
geometry_in are, um, fascinating (though I can't tell for sure whether
it tries to modify anything).

Also, I wouldn't put my hands to the fire for the gist support for it.

I further bet you'd have more luck asking a Postgis mailing list rather
than pgsql-admin.
