The problem is going to be precision.

If this is important for you you may want to switch to cgal which support
arbitrary curve in arrangment (from memory)

If precision is not important, you can easily add an uggly fix : add 2
triggers to edge table that
_when something want to access an edge, convert it to linestring
_when something want to write an edge, convert it to your curve model
