Playing a little more with this I noticed the error is because of some "special" characters in the json sent (specifically the path of the file). So this seems like an encoding issue, when I send a file which contains an 'ó' in the name, it gives this error:
{"readyState":4,"responseText":"Error in call to API function \"files/upload\": HTTP header \"Dropbox-API-Arg\": could not decode input as JSON","status":400,"statusText":"Bad Request"}
