Please keep discussion on the public list where others can chip in and
google can find the thread for the next user to run into this problem.
GeoServer only chooses a default style ONCE, when the layer is initially
configured. Even if you change the geometry type after that, the
auto-configured style will not change. If you want GeoServer to re-inspect
the layer, delete it and add it again through the web ui.
As mentioned before, you can also just manually change the style to an
appropriate one (on the "publishing" tab when looking at the layer
configuration.
