Failure started after upgrade from GDAL 2.2.4 to GDAL 2.3.0 on Debian sid when processing a GML file with a geometry property called `geometry`. The output CSV geometry column name changed from WKT to geometry:

$ ogr2ogr --version
GDAL 2.3.0, released 2018/05/04
$ ogr2ogr -f CSV -lco GEOMETRY=AS_WKT feature.csv feature.gml; grep STATE feature.csv 
geometry,gml_id,STATE_NAME

Comparison with Ubuntu Bionic:

$ ogr2ogr --version
GDAL 2.2.3, released 2017/11/20
$ ogr2ogr -f CSV -lco GEOMETRY=AS_WKT feature.csv feature.gml; grep STATE feature.csv
WKT,gml_id,STATE_NAME

GEOMETRY=AS_WKT is documented to output a geometry column WKT by default.
