Absolutley right. I have the option of encoding the data on the
frontend to be passed as a JSON value. Currently that is off; that is,
the flag to encode as JSON is false so the data is supposed to be
passed as a "regular" POST parameter set, even if it looks like JSON.

Absolutely works. My earlier attempt at parsing JSON was bad (new to
django + JSON). Thanks much Matías!
