I can specify that I have solr 4.2.1 installed, and only with that change this errors shows up.

SOLR-2155 does not work with Solr 4.x; it is expressly for Solr 3.x only. However, good news -- Solr 4 ships with the same technology, more or less: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SolrAdaptersForLuceneSpatial4

Well damn it. I only though that the documentation is out of sync, as it's a clustered randomness sometimes
