1. play.api.test.WithApplication is for use with Specs, not JUnit. Either write your tests using specs and WithApplication, or if you must use JUnit, then make ApplicationTest extend play.test.WithApplication, and call start() in an @Before method. Failure to do so will cause all sorts of strange unexpected behaviour.
2. You are invoking the action directly. The action returns an iteratee, and this iteratee must be fed the body, but you are feeding nothing into it, because you call the run method on it. This is why the body is not passed. Instead, use play.api.test.Helpers.route, this will feed the body you supplied to withFormUrlEncodedBody into the iteratee for you.
3. If you have any further issues, please post them to the mailing list. The mailing list is the place to ask questions and get help, the issue tracker is for raising confirmed bugs.

In case anyone ever reads this in the future, I've posted a question to https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/play-framework/L6KhSL3WM7U . I explicitly said I want to stub the dependencies in the controller and that is why I don't want to use the route function. The code doesn't use a dependency injection framework which I could configure to inject stubbed dependencies.
