I just ran into the same problem, so I thought I'd post my solution, even though it might be a different solution to what you were after.

I wanted to autoload my own libraries, so I added the following to my composer.json:

"autoload": {
    "psr-0": {
        "Fhc": "app"
    }
},

What I didn't realise was that just above that line was the following:

"autoload": {
    "classmap": [
        "app/commands",
        "app/controllers",
        "app/models",
        "app/database/migrations",
        "app/database/seeds",
        "app/tests/TestCase.php"
    ],
},

In essence, my modification had completely overridden the the code above. The solution was to merge the two together (as I should have done to begin with).

"autoload": {
    "classmap": [
        "app/commands",
        "app/controllers",
        "app/models",
        "app/database/migrations",
        "app/database/seeds",
        "app/tests/TestCase.php"
    ],
    "psr-0": {
        "Fhc": "app"
    }
},

Now it's all working as expected.

I hope this helps anyone else in the same situation.
