I think things are screwed up here in a few ways. If we're going to support a fast and slow method, I would think the fast should return the center of the bounds and the slow should return the weighted centroid.
I know that it was not intended for the first point of a line to be returned as the centroid. I think this was an optimization to use the first component of multi-part geometries, and linestrings were overlooked.
