Error using GDAL to clip raster to KML (CRS is same for both): Cutline not of polygon type

I have a high-resolution, 4-band (RGBA) geo-tiff (22.26 Gb) with an image of an airport. I have a KML file that has a polygon for a runway. I used Google Earth to construct the KML. Both files use the same CRS and align properly in QGIS (i.e. the polygon perfectly outlines the runway when displayed together). I want to use GDAL (version 3.2.0) to clip the geo-tiff with the KML file, and I want the output to have a transparent background. But when I try I get an error:

ERROR 1: Cutline not of polygon type.

This post shows that errors can arise when the polygon and raster don’t have the same CRS, but my KML and raster use the same CRS.

From the output of ogrinfo for the KML, I noticed the line Geometry: Unknown (any), but I don’t know if that’s related to the error.

I tried converting the KML to an ESRI shapefile using ogr2ogr, but I get the same error.

GDAL command:

gdalwarp -of GTiff -cutline "RW1634.kml" -cl "RW1634.kml" -crop_to_cutline -dstalpha -dstnodata -999.0 rw1634.tif rw1634_clipped.tif

What could be causing this error and how do I fix it?

Below are the outputs of gdalinfo for the raster and ogrinfo for the KML:
