Create a geodesic polygon in Fusion Tables

I have tried creating a polygon in Fusion Tables with:

<Polygon><altitudeMode>clampedToGround</altitudeMode><outerBoundaryIs><LinearRing> etc...

But it is not the same shape as a Polygon created using the Maps API:

var myPolygon = new google.maps.Polygon({
    paths: polyCoords,
    geodesic: true
});

Same coordinates for both polygons, obviously.  Using <altitudeMode>clampedToGround</altitudeMode> appears to give the polygon some curvature, but not as much as the Maps API Polygon.

Is there a way to create a geodesic polygon in Fusion Tables/KML that will render the same shape as the Maps API polygon?
