OK, thanks anyway. I've pushed the patch to master as

Eli, could we have it emacs-25 as well? It's not critical, but it should 
make the life of our users easier to flagging problems with the usage of 
url-http earlier, in a more appropriate place, with an error, rather 
than leaving that up to them to deduce why their HTTP server truncates 
the request body.

While the truncation bug itself is quite old, it's been exacerbated in 
Emacs 25 by my own цщкл to make json.el faster: one side-effect is  that 
it doesn't \u-quote multibyte characters anymore, or at least not all of 
them.

FWIW, I've been running with it applied to emacs-25 for the past week 
with no problems.
