Thanks for filing this. Since it has to do with a newer libgeos version, I expect the most recent version of shapely to fix this. If this is true, bug #731566 is even more urgent.
I had already started packaging 1.2.18 but found a small problem with how recent upstream tarballs are created (missing .cyx). I will upload the new version as soon as possible (not before one week, but most probably before two), and check if this bug is still present.
