I've narrowed this (already noted to Jerry) to something in the filter stack.  

You can demonstrate it by simply trying manual/misc/FAQ.html with SSI enabled.
The SSI includes are dropped.  There may be further complications in the 
interaction of the http_core.c and core.c filters, I'm still looking at that.
