This is due to a bug in static module, it doesn't properly set
r->exten in this case, so the redirect gets default mime-type.

Please try this patch

return NGX_HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR;

+ r->uri = path;
+ ngx_http_set_exten(r);
+
if (ngx_http_set_content_type(r) != NGX_OK) {
return NGX_HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR;
}


It does resolve the issue for me.

Sure, the ability to add a duplicate header with add_header
directive is to be subjected to separate design considerations.

Hope it helps.
