Transactions sent to contracts are signed by an EOA.
A contract runs code, and that might include sending a message to another contract. In this case, the message is not signed because it doesn't need to be signed. The ...

Ok I got this to work by hacking into geth and having it show me some debug values and changing my code until they matched.
Thing is my test data was wrong because metamask wants to sign a HASH of the message and not the actual MESSAGE like geth does. Wish I had known that before!
Anyway here is the working code:
std::string ecrecover(std::string sig, std:...

Turns out the trick is in not calling Web3's transactionSigner(), it is too high level. Call the ethereumjs-tx library directly:

value: '0x64'
};
