I think you'd call this a design flaw. It sounds like JTS has a similar problem. Can you post your test cases?

I have experienced an instance where using simplify, depending on the threshold chose, creates a geometry collection, rather than a multipolygon (which was my source shape type).

I am unsure of exactly what is happening, but I know that with my particular shapes, a threshold of 0.0025 (dd) caused the problem, but 0.002 was OK.
Is this a bug, a feature, or operator error?
