There's a discussion about this in #buildout on irc.freenode.net

It looks like the upstream server is misconfigured and doesn't emit

  Vary: Accept-Encoding

when a client does a GET with Accept-Encoding: gzip and gets back a
gzipped response (which then gets cached and served to everyone for one
hour).

Donald Stufft is aware of this and is trying to fix it from his phone
while sitting in an OR waiting room.

I'm in awe.
