There is some geometry validation, but it is not white&black. In my tests, with 
the 
ne_10m_admin_1_states_provinces dataset, when I initially implemented very 
strict 
geometry validation, a number of polygons were completely dropped, so I ended 
up 
implementing a more relaxed logic: for an outer ring, it after conversion to 
integer 
coordinates, it is not valid (with GEOSIsValid() testing), then do : buffer( 
tolerance) followed 
by bufffer(-tolerance) followed by simplifypreservetopology(tolerance) (where 
tolerance is 2 
* tile_dim_in_crs_unit / EXTENT) followed by a new round of integer coordinates 
conversion. 
If that's still not valid, keep it.
For an inner ring, drop it if when included in the outer ring, the resulting 
polygon is not valid

Perhaps you could play with the SIMPLIFICATION and SIMPLIFICATION_MAX_ZOOM 
options ?

Perhaps you should also use an already simplified layer for the lowest zoom 
level (see the 
CONF option)

Are you sure you get polygons with less than 4 points ? Normally they should be 
discarded.
