Replying to my own post... The use of bold for the post data in this case appears to be indicating that the parameters do not match their declared encoding. In my case I eventually noticed that the content type was "application/ x-www-form-urlencoded" instead of "application/json" - once this was sorted out my XHR request started working again and post data was no longer presented in bold.
It would be great if something a bit less subtle than this could point problems such as this out.
