Description
I wrote a py.test test (see gist) that stores GeoJSON sample data from the MongoDB documentation and then attempts to query within an 'earth-sized' polygon. The query result returns nothing. Any idea what is going on here?

Research direction
Start by running the linked py.test gist with the GeoJSON sample data from the MongoDB documentation and inspect the 2dsphere polygon query. Compare the stored geometry and query behavior with MongoDB's geospatial documentation; done means identifying why the earth-sized polygon returns no results and documenting or testing the expected behavior.
