gzip has a minimum output size (apparently 20 bytes). A gzip stream has
to have a header, etc. to identify it as a gzip stream and allow
decompression, even when there is no data to be compressed.

I would agree that mod_deflate should detect zero-length content and
just drop the compression, but if mod_deflate is engaged before the
content is generated, it can't predict that you will have a zero-content
response.

You'll probably just have to live with this. At least 20 bytes isn't
much. You have much more data in your headers than you do in your
compressed emptiness (even the Content-Encoding header is more than 20
bytes).
