See:

If there is a given title, the revID should be shown (like with 'page').

There is no revision ID in this case, since you're providing non-saved text.
That doesn't seem to be the problem. If I remove the text= and the prop= parameters (since prop=revid is included by default anyway), I get an empty page with no revid and no content other than the limit report.
Oh wait, you're using title instead of page. Setting title=Ball basically means that the text will behave like it's on [[Ball]], which means [[Ball]] will be a self-link (bold rather than a link), /Foo will link to [[Ball/Foo]] etc. If you want to parse the content of [[Ball]], set page=Ball.

Hmm, but is there a good reason for showing the always empty tag <parse revid="" /> in those cases?
Maybe remove this tag; or replace it by the articleID/curRevisionID (if given)?

Done in r36983. It was intended not to appear in that case, but I confused null and false.
