Comment:

 Disabling XML-RPC does not disable the pingback functionality, nor should
 it, IMO.

 And pingbacks and trackbacks can be enabled or disabled on a per-post
 basis, so if you wanted to determine when to send the header, you'd have
 to jump start the Loop early then rewind. Probably not worth the trouble.

 Given that it really doesn't make any difference (if the pingbacks are
 disabled on a post, then the pingback itself is rejected), I'd mark this
 as not particularly important.

 Also, it's an enhancement request, not a defect.
