Bukankah itu hanya melakukan apa yang seharusnya dilakukan? Yang mana untuk mengkompensasi distorsi karena memproyeksikan ellipsoid ke dalam struktur datar 2D? Saya percaya, semakin jauh Anda dari khatulistiwa, semakin banyak buffer oval Anda akan melihat.
Contoh:
db=# SELECT ST_AsText(
ST_Buffer(
ST_GeomFromText('SRID=4326;POINT(43.29 5.41)'),0.001, 'quad_segs=16')
);

Untuk membuat buffer Anda mengabaikan distorsi disebabkan oleh proyeksi, pertimbangkan kueri berikut (POINT di Italia):
SELECT
ST_Buffer(
ST_GeomFromGeoJSON('{"type":"Point","coordinates":[11.26,44.42]}')::geography,
1000,'quad_segs=16')::geometry;
Penjelasan :
Perhitungan menggunakan GEOMETRY dan GEOGRAPHY dibuat berbeda, dan begitu juga hasilnya. GEOGRAPHY menghitung koordinat di atas permukaan bola (yang bisa jauh lebih lambat daripada GEOMETRY ) dan menggunakan meters sebagai satuan pengukuran, sedangkan GEOMETRY menggunakan proyeksi planar dan menggunakan unit SRS.
Catatan :GEOMETRY casting di akhir kueri terakhir diperlukan untuk kasus penggunaan OP, lihat komentar di bawah.
