Yes, you need to get Apache to generate:

Content-Type: text/plain (or something else reasonable)
Content-Encoding: gzip

I'm guessing that:

RemoveType .gz
AddEncoding gzip .gz

in the Apache configuration would probably fix this. I'm not sure why
this isn't the default, but at least on the systems that I recently
upgraded, I had to do that to get the behavior I wanted.
