Summary: User-agent header added by an opener is "frozen"

Initial Comment:
If a Request object gets an User-agent header added by
an  opener, that header seems to be "frozen". Although
header_items() shows the changed header, the request
still uses the old one. This does not happen if the
header is set before the request is passed to the
opener, i.e. when the header is not set automatically,
subsequent changes are respected.

I'm using Python 2.4.4 from Debian's sid.
