Django test client encoding of JSON Booleans

I'm using Django version 1.5.5. Here is a short snippet of the test I'm writing:

from django.test import TestCase

class MyTest(TestCase):

  def my_test(self):

    url = ... location of my view ...

    self.client.post(url, data={'active': False}, format='json')

The problem I'm running into is that when I inspect request.POST inside my view, I get: {'active': [u'False']}. The workaround I have right now is to use json.loads(request.raw_post_data), but I'm wondering if this is a bug or if I am just missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
