Comment (by dd32):

 Of course, this is actually a valid JSON input.

 These are also valid, and produce the same result.
 {{{
 curl https://example.org/wp-json/wp/v2/users/1 --data '"foobar"' -H
 'Content-Type: application/json'
 curl https://example.org/wp-json/wp/v2/users/1 --data '1' -H 'Content-
 Type: application/json'
 }}}

 It seems that the expected outcome here is to simply skip sanitisation of
 the param, ultimately a missing field should be picked up by the schema of
 the API endpoint, and the endpoint may expect/handle a string/numeric
 input in the field.

 See attached.
