I forgot to mention that I *did* try debugging this with the
controller's $components line commented. In fact, right now, with or
without $components available, this still gives me a truncated array:
public function add($media_type_slug = null)
{
die(Debugger::dump($this->data));
... whereas, a simple die(debug($this->data)); works as expected.
