Getting "parse error" when creating Gmail label

I am using the Gmail API to create a label, using URL https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/me/labels. Works perfectly for me. However several customers are reporting this fails with http error 400, with the error:

"domain": "global", "reason": "parseError", "message": "Parse Error"

The json that is input to the call is very simple, example:

{"name":"Secretarial Misc."}

Any idea what the problem could be? Why would the exact same json work for me but not somebody else?

The data you show should, according to the specification, not work for anyone. It's peculiar that is works for you! Try this:

POST https://www.googleapis.com/gmail/v1/users/me/labels?access_token={YOUR_API_KEY}

{
 "labelListVisibility": "labelShow",
 "messageListVisibility": "show",
 "name": "Secretarial Misc."
}
