The reply in question is HTTP/0.9 reply, and that's why it doesn't
contain headers and status code. As nginx wasn't able to parse up
to '... HTTP/1.1' trailer - it thinks it's HTTP/0.9 request (which
doesn't have version information) and replies accordingly.

We may consider using HTTP/1.0 in such situations, but I don't
think it actually matters.
