This returns to the point about whether the cache should store data with
the transfer encodings applied, or not.

I think that the cache should store data *without* transfer encodings
applied: Ie not chunked and not byteranged. This solves your problem.

If we do need to do anything clever (AKA potentially confusing) like
apply a gzip transfer encoding before caching content (or applying a
gunzip filter if the opposite is true) it's done within the
cache_storage.c code - thus keeping "potentially confusing" stuff out of
the Apache filter stacks.
