As daleharvey pointed out on irc, this is due to inconsitent JSON decoding of query params. daleharvey suggests a fix like in
http://pastebin.me/0ed2942f6953cb00cab1bd53861c1568

A temporarily fix is to quote the parameters:
{
"from": "/",
"to": "_view/q",
"method": "GET",
"query":

{ "limit": "30" }

}
