Seems like apple to oranges comparison here. I would try giving an explicit end point (.../extract), a single message, and a literal id for the SimplePostTool and seeing whether that works. Not providing an ID could definitely be an issue.
I would also specifically look on the server side in the logs and see what the messages say to understand the discrepancies. Solr 5 is a bit more verbose about what's going under the covers, but that's not available yet.
