Comment:

 What if we did this:

 {{{
 add_action( 'template_redirect', 'wp_exit_on_http_head', 1000 );
 function wp_exit_on_http_head() {
     if ( 'HEAD' === $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] )
         exit;
 }
 }}}

 Alternatively, [attachment:14348-4.diff] but without the constant. Only
 the filter is really needed.
