That doesnt look like a very accurate measurement from PostGIS. What happens if you try?
SELECT ST_Area(the_geog,true) As sqm_spheroid
        FROM (SELECT
        geography(
            ST_GeomFromText(    'POLYGON((50 0,-60 -5, -30 -30,50 0))',
        )
    ) As x(the_geog);

This should be comparable with getgeodesicArea in OL.
