I have tried GeomFromText but it doesn't seem to return WKB.

sql>SELECT GeomFromText('POINT(1 2)', 0);
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| geomfromtext_single_value                                     |
+======================================+
| POINT (1.0000000000000000 2.0000000000000000) |
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
1 tuple (0.325ms)

What about this:
SELECT GeomFromText('POINT(1 2)', 0);

The string ('POINT(1 2)') should not have a comma in it, and the extra
argument (0) is ignored.
