Tried this just on a client (once I'd hacked the gemspecs so it didn't
continue to pick up 1.5.2) and I still got some corrupt JSON through,
but I'm guessing the JSON that a client starts with comes from the
server, so any corruption there would propagate through?

To test that theory I've just hacked up the server similarly...
