Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 I can easily picture a plugin overriding headers after an output buffer
 gets started or something similar. The patch exits too early.

 I suspect anything short of output buffering, running the full WP, and
 discarding the output, will introduce potential issues. Alternatively we
 could close as wontfix or worksforme, since that would be what apache does
 already.
