Interesting. I can confirm that your CGI script with an If-Modified-Since
header later than the Last-Modified date supplied by the script does
indeed return 200 with no body. That's broken, but is it Apache or
the script that's at fault[1]?
RFC2616 says of If-Modified-Since:
c) If the variant has not been modified since a valid If-^M
Modified-Since date, the server SHOULD return a 304 (Not^M
Modified) response.^M
That makes sense: the script is stupid but technically within its rights
to send the 200 unconditionally. So Apache should presumably
accommodate it by ignoring the If-Modified-Since header and
returning 200 with the full body.
If that's not already in bugzilla, you might consider entering it there.
[1] It's both, of course.
