OpenWhisk: how to include new/updated document in Cloudant change feed

Following the steps outlined in http://heidloff.net/article/how-to-trigger-openwhisk-cloudant, the triggered action does not receive the JSON document as a parameter, even though the trigger definition includes includeDocs true.

Details:

Define an action (displayEvent.js) that simply returns the parameters:

function main(params) {
  return {payload:  params};
}

Create action:

$ wsk action update displayEvent displayEvent.js
ok: updated action displayEvent

Bind Cloudant package:

$ wsk package bind /whisk.system/cloudant srcCloudant --param bluemixServiceName cloudant_for_openwhisk --param dbname src --param host *** --param overwrite false --param username *** --param password ***

Create trigger for Cloudant change feed:

$ wsk trigger create newTrackingEvent --feed /ptitzler_org_dev/srcCloudant/changes --param includeDocs true 
ok: invoked /...

(I also tried parameter include_docs but the results are the same.)

Create rule:

$ wsk rule create logEvent newTrackingEvent displayEvent
ok: created rule logEvent

Create new document in Cloudant

{
 "_id": "0689f19a88edd98512a33df24ab084a4",
 "myproperty": 123
}

The resulting displayEvent activity log output only includes the document metadata but not the document itself:

What am I missing?
