Yes; because the entire C-L is known and the overhead for C-L plus fragment header/trailer is longer than a simple C-L header.
This issue can also be handles by not sending the Content-Length and using chunking.
The original question was, "How do I force chunking". The answer is, you don't and can't expect to. Chunking is a hop-by-hop behavior over which you have no control by either endpoint of the intermediate servers' elections.
Maybe the original question should be rephrased to "How do I force chunking when sending content from mod_gzip2", so we would not discuss what chunking is for, if it collides with Content-Length and that it is hop-by-hop header, and just search for answer for "why does mod_gzip not send chunked responses, if it can".
