I had similar problem and non of the answers quite worked for me, heres what i did:

    $resource("/", {}, {
       query: {
            method: 'GET',
            isArray: false,
            transformResponse: function (data, headers) {
                //if no data return so no warnings
                if (data == ''){
                    return;
                }

                return {data: $.extend({}, eval("{" + data + '}'))};
            }
        }
   });

Uses jquery. Basically convert array to object so angularjs resource doesn't poop its pants.
