Just noticed your problem was related to passing arguments into the request body as JSON.
That is something TurboGears RestController won't do out of the box, the tgext.crud extension EasyCrudRestController does that using a @before_validate(allow_json_parameters) decorator which is implemented here: https://github.com/TurboGears/tgext.crud/blob/master/tgext/crud/utils.py#L169 You probably want to do the same so that you can freely pass json encoded arguments to TG.
