I could solve the problem with binary files by using fread instead of
readfile:

<?
$link = $save_as_name = "test.tif"; // or *.bmp, *.txt, ...
$size = filesize($link);

header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-disposition: inline; filename=\"".$save_as_name."\"");
header("Content-Length: $size");
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary\n");

$fp = fopen($link, 'rb') or print('Could not open file!'); 
$read = fread($fp, $size) or print('Could not read file'); 
fclose($fp);
print($read); 
?>

But this only works with binary files. With text files a get the same
problems (see above).

Now i turned implicit_flush in the php.ini to on (see Bug #15245), but
this doesn't matter.

Please let me know, if you need more information.

No output buffering, no compression.

Yuk!
Do you have output buffering enabled, and/or gzip compression?
(Just to confirm).

No, it's not a problem of the image presentation. The files (the
original and the downloaded one) differ. The same probleme occurs with
text files. Below you will find a comparision between an original text
file and what the download makes of it:
