Shapely: Crash when calling shapely.geometry.asShape with invalid geometry

Expected behavior and actual behavior.

This code:

import shapely.geometry
x = shapely.geometry.asShape({'coordinates': [[1130.0, 1110.0]], 'type': 'LineString'})
assert x.is_valid
x.wkb

First, is_valid returns True instead of False and I see this log when calling it:

IllegalArgumentException: point array must contain 0 or >1 elements

Then, when asking for the wkb, my python process crashes which is even worse:

python3.5: geos_ts_c.cpp:5240: unsigned char* GEOSWKBWriter_write_r(GEOSContextHandle_t, geos::io::WKBWriter*, const geos::geom::Geometry*, std::size_t*): Assertion `0 != geom' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

Steps to reproduce the problem.

import shapely.geometry
x = shapely.geometry.asShape({'coordinates': ((1130.0, 1110.0),), 'type': 'LineString'})
assert not x.is_valid
x.wkb

Operating system

Ubuntu Xenial. python 3.5.2.
