As it happens, mod_mime_magic code maps "The" and "the" to L_ENG.
There's a table that says "English text" -> "text/plain".  As a result,
if you don't have the word "the" in the file, and the file is not html,
there doesn't seem to be anything else that would distinguish this file
as "text/plain".  There *is* a "DefaultType" directive which is by
default set to "text/plain", and this does indeed work since the web
browser gets served the file as text/plain when called directly, but
this looks like it is done "after" mod_mime_magic has returned a
"declined" status and hence has not displayed the file.  It seems like
an underlying bug.

The easiest thing to do is simply rename README to README.txt.
Otherwise, you can use
<Files README>
ForceType text/plain
</Files>
