Yeah, it used to work ok. I think some function is not setting the
content_type attribute of request_rec's correctly when unknown types
are found but DefaultType is specified. I think it is setting
content_type to NULL whereever that is. The code says in a similar
problem area:

modules/standard/mod_expires.c:430
    * I still don't know *why* r->content_type would ever be NULL, this

    * work...  Bah.
