I have now enabled these:

  # Netscape 4.x has some problems...
  BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4 gzip-only-text/html
  BrowserMatch ^Mozilla/4\.0[678] no-gzip
  BrowserMatch \bMSI[E] !no-gzip !gzip-only-text/html

which were disabled BEFORE the upgrade.
It's quite odd. I could disable them now to see if the problem
reappears.
