Not sure I understand why this is the case. The call to
ap_add_output_filters_by_type()
is being called right before the call to insert the chunked encoding filter. If what
you
say is true, then wouldn't the problem exist with the chunked encoding filter as well?

Yep, I considered this and will implement it if this is what we really need to do.
