Ah, right - now I see why you're getting a multipolyon back, due to the
new vertices being introduced. Welcome to the world of finite-precision
geometry! It's kind of like quantum physics - ordinary geometric
operations work differently and sometimes have peculiar side effects
down at the vertex scale....

Actually the PostGIS/GEOS behavior is consistent with your JTS I
think. What I was getting was a single Polygon too with extra vertices
where the line cut throw. It was when I was trying to figure out what
the difference was between my original
polygon and this new polgon difference line. Simply overlaying them
on a screen I couldn't tell the difference so I differenced them and
was shocked when my old polygon was completely contained by new
polygon and new polygon was bigger by 2 super small polygons. I
thought it was more funny than anything.
