Very strange. I just compiled current 2.2 branch with current
plugins and the problem doesn't appear, but looking at logs from my
other tests, I really used 2.2 branch and plugins from 20041201 in
above test.

Using a HEAD client to connect to this 2.2 server works fine, too.

Very very strange ...
