Okay, my fault, I should have tested using the JTS TestBuilder myself.

Turns out it's just a problem with projections and I guess not
strictly speaking JTS-related. I'm doing my spatial operations on some
data which is in WGS84 and I thinkg doing linear interpolation between
individual coordinates is just not possible. I did not realize this was
a problem when working with small polygons, but with country-boundaries
this becomes an issue. I guess it would work with Mercator projection.

Thank you!
