Oleg, I realized that I had set my connection timeout and socket timeout settings to 1ms in order to force timeouts so I could test another part of my code. When changed to reasonable values, this error no longer occurs.
I've added this note to the problem description, and filed a bug for it in JIRA here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-180.
