I have finally found it! fcgid and apache work great (as usual :P), the
problem rests elsewhere:

When I hit the static file my browser downloads favicon.ico as well. If
it doesn't exist, server raises E404 - and that is handled by PHP in
configurations with mod_rewrite clean url hack. robots.txt does similar
problems with web crawlers.

I'm going to solve it by writing a redirect that will return E504. (E404
would be caught by ErrorDocument, which would lead to same problems.)
Another step to make my server really effective. :)

Thanks for your help, I wouldn't have figured it out as soon without it :).
