Spring CSRF multiparfilter breaks

I have a multipart form with a file upload which gets posted as seen below in Chrome developer tools -

------WebKitFormBoundaryUkhJ5180JIBYXzLm
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="_csrf"

8d7f28ad-f436-473c-964e-fe41c42c80e4
------WebKitFormBoundaryUkhJ5180JIBYXzLm
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="_csrf"

8d7f28ad-f436-473c-964e-fe41c42c80e4
------WebKitFormBoundaryUkhJ5180JIBYXzLm--

The data seems to have a proper multipart boundary and the _csrf token included. My Spring application is configured as below for CSRF and multipartfilter -

Beans -

<bean id="tokenRepo"
    class="org.springframework.security.web.csrf.HttpSessionCsrfTokenRepository">
</bean>

<bean id="accessDeniedHandler"
    class="org.springframework.security.web.access.AccessDeniedHandlerImpl">
    <property name="errorPage"
        value="/WEB-INF/files/AccessDenied.html" />
</bean>

<bean id="csrfFilter" class="org.springframework.security.web.csrf.CsrfFilter">
    <constructor-arg ref="tokenRepo" />
    <property name="accessDeniedHandler" ref="accessDeniedHandler" />
</bean>

<bean id="filterChainProxy" class="org.springframework.security.web.FilterChainProxy">
    <sec:filter-chain-map>
        <sec:filter-chain pattern="/**" filters="
          csrfFilter" />
    </sec:filter-chain-map>
</bean>

<bean id="multipartFilter" class="org.springframework.web.multipart.support.MultipartFilter">
</bean>

web.xml -

<filter>
    <filter-name>multipartFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.springframework.web.multipart.support.MultipartFilter</filter-class>
</filter>   
<filter>
    <filter-name>filterChainProxy</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy</filter-class>
    </filter>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>multipartFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>filterChainProxy</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

security.xml -

<b:beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security"
         xmlns:b="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans       http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd

    <http />
</b:beans>

I am using Spring Framework version 4.1.6.RELEASE and Spring Security version 4.0.2.RELEASE and Tomcat 7.

With this setup, the request does not pass multipartfilter and/or CSRF filter - I do not see it entering the filter placed after these 2 in web.xml.

If I change my server's context.xml opening context tag to include allowCasualMultipartParsing="true", the request passes into the next filter after multipartfilter and CSRF filter but when it reaches my controller, Apache Commons FileUpload finds it empty. I have tried wrapping the request in HttpServletRequestWrapper in order to typecast it in different ways but I could not salvage the request.
