Comment (by ourakland):

 After trying different capabilities, I narrowed it down to
 **edit_others_posts**. If I add that to the author role, $_POST comes
 through unscathed to my save meta data function, and things work as as
 desired.

 Of course, that causes a bunch of other problems (like authors being able
 to edit others' posts), but maybe can help narrow down where the problem
 is in the WP code.
