Middleware not working: body-parser body-parser-xml not returning a body

[musemega]

This code does not return a body using meteor 1.3:

`Meteor.startup(function() {

Picker.route('/api/imports2', function(req, res, next) {
var _bodyParser = require('body-parser');
require('body-parser-xml')(_bodyParser);

Picker.middleware( _bodyParser.json() );
Picker.middleware( _bodyParser.urlencoded( { extended: false } ) );
Picker.middleware( _bodyParser.xml({
  explicitArray: false,
  normalize: false,
  normalizeTags: false,
  trim: true
}));

var _xml = req.body;

next();

});
});`

The route works, the middleware array gets populated correctly, but nothing is in the resultant req object except an empty query object.

Just to test, I created a pure node/express app, and the body-parser/body-parser-xml middleware works fine.

Here's a curl statement I'm using:
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -H "Accept: application/xml" -d '<run><log encoding="hexBinary">4142430A</log><result>0</result><duration>2000</duration></run>' http://localhost:3010/imports

I must be missing something...
