I think there's been soem discussion, onlist as well as via Bugzilla, on the best way to handle this. Personally, I think that if the client sent chunked, we should pass that through to the origin server.
As I remember, the client should try to remember whether the server doesn't support HTTP/1.1, and not send chunked request bodies if so.
Trouble is, the client sees Apache, which is an HTTP/1.1 server. So it always sends chunked request bodies, because Apache is all the client sees. So simply passing on the client's chunked response to the origin server (whether temporarily un-chunked en-route through the filter stack or not) doesn't seem to me to be doing the right thing.
Unfortunately my copy of RFC2616 died along with my laptop harddrive, so I can't check right now, but I will check the exact wording over the weekend to be sure.
