'True' (capital T) is not a valid JSON boolean value, so if that's 
what's in the request JSON, it should fail schema validation.

I suggest making both calls with the --debug option so you can compare 
the JSON being passed in the unsuccessful vs. the successful request. 
This will give you a better idea of whether the problem is client-side 
or server-side, and then you can file a bug with the appropriate project.
