Error
ERROR 2017-06-01 23:30:46,394 module.py:899] Request to '/_ah/upload/ahNkZXZ-dHJhdmVsbWljcm9ibG9nciILEhVfX0Jsb2JVcGxvYWRTZXNzaW9uX18YgICAgIDIowoM' failed
The code to create the upload URL looked like this:
PHP
$options = [
'gs_bucket_name' => '#default#',
'url_expiry_time_seconds' => 86400
];
$url = CloudStorageTools::createUploadUrl('/admin/api/assets/upload', $options);
So that seemed to be correct, but as I later found out it wasn't. To track down the problem, I had to enable debug output for the dev server itself. This is done by passing --dev_appserver_log_level=debug when running the dev_appserver.py script. For me the whole command line looked like this:
Dev Server
dev_appserver.py --port=8080 -A=travelmicroblog --runtime=php55 --log_level=debug --dev_appserver_log_level=debug app.yaml
Now I was getting more detailed error messages, including a stack trace, like so:

The final message in the output was key here...
Error
ValueError: Path should have format /bucket/filename but got /#default#/fake-9RB3va819BclBVNwwjrE7g==
After some experimenting and re-reading the documentation I realised that the default bucket name '#default#'can't be used in this case. Even though much of the PHP runtime does support this shorthand expression, when working with the CloudStorageTools class, you have to provide the actual bucket name.
I still wanted to use the default bucket, so used the CloudStorageTools::getDefaultGoogleStorageBucketName() function to retrieve it. My $options array now looked like this:
PHP
$options = [
'gs_bucket_name' => CloudStorageTools::getDefaultGoogleStorageBucketName(),
'url_expiry_time_seconds' => 86400
];
Once I made that change, all of my uploads started working!
