I suspect something is wrong with your header. I used your JSON and posted successfully against a 3.3 Enterprise server using curl. I used both the ticket method you described as well as just telling curl the username and password of my admin user.

Notice that when I use the ticket, my authorization header does not get set whereas in your case it does. Maybe that is a clue.

Posting a user with a ticket:

jpotts-alfresco-mbp:~ jpotts$ curl -v -X POST "http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/people?alf_ticket=TICKET_7284f7992fb43f9bd34ba25e8e5a49f79acd5ec4" -d@./temp.json -H "Content-type:application/json"
