SCGI Refresh bug

Has there been any progress on the SCGI Refresh bug?  To refresh
everyone's memory, with StaticFile under mod_scgi, if the user presses the
browser's Refresh button, he'll get broken images or an Internal Server
Error 2/3 of the time.  It seems that mod_scgi or Apache is choking on the
Last-Modified: header.  I finally had to comment out that line in
StaticFile due to user complaints:
       response.set_header('Last-Modified', last_modified)

(To test this, you have to comment the "If-Modified-Since" stanza above
it; otherwise it'll bypass the buggy code sometimes.)

There's also the hanging with cgi2scgi.c and FastCGI.  When the user
presses Refresh, the request takes a long time or hangs.  I think we
agreed this was a race condition.  I don't remember if it was limited to
StaticFile content.
