You get this error because the backend didn't send a status line.
Apache is behaving exactly as designed here.

Your problem is that apache expects a http/1.0 response to an HTTP/1.0
request. Because the response does not conform to HTTP/1.0 it is
rejected. Thus the 502 error.

Apache will proxy HTTP/0.9 just fine. Just repeat your test with a
HTTP/0.9 client and you'll see. Apache does not translate between
HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/0.9. It would anyway not be easy to do this. So if
you send a HTTP/1.0 request to your forward proxy it will forward a
HTTP/1.0 request to the backend.
