Ah, I'm an engineer not a theorist. Such degenerate input is unlikely to be a valid use case, can be detected, and I can reject it.

Wait until you see the actual heuristic I use for solving voronoi/delaunay in arbitrary topologies. I need to write a blog post on it anyways.

It's very easy to get 4 points on a circle. In 2d space just the four corners of a unit square would do it.
On a sphere or modulus space, that just becomes a K4, so it isn't even an edge case, it is the solution that the approximation would generate.
Yes, you definitely have to deal with it, in virtually any setup.
