Refining this, it's actually not behaving unusually at all. It's not an 
empty content-type that's buggy, but sending a totally incorrect 
content-type of application/x-www-form-urlencoded.

What's happening is just a curl thing. Not setting a Content-Type header 
on the command line results in a default of 
application/x-www-form-urlencoded, and that fails as it should since 
that's not true. If you set an empty Content-Type parameter, it doesn't 
break it.

So this whole mess is really just a curl command line quirk.
