I got this to work by adding 'Content-Type': 'application/json' to my headers and dumping the JSON body to a string, params = json.dumps({"issues": [{"repo_id": 280565, "issue_number": 17}]})

My code now looks like:

zenhub_headers = {"X-Authentication-Token": "%s" % token, 'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
target_zh_issues_url = '%s/p1/repositories/%d/issues' % (zh_api_endpoint, target_repo_id)
params = json.dumps({"issues": [{"repo_id": 280565, "issue_number": 17}]})
response = requests.post(target_zh_issues_url + '/%s/convert_to_epic' % issue, headers=zenhub_headers, data=params)

Though I'm not sure why the call with a body of unstringified {"issues":[]} was succeeding.
