Accept-Language Issue

Hello,

Can somebody give me a hint for what am I doing wrong with my setup. I have
Zope instance that is proxied by nginx (doing address rewriting) that I want
to be cached by varnish, but as soon as I configure Zope to add
Accept-Language to Vary header, varnish starts closing connection when asked
for object from Zope without returning any data. I'm using default.vcl

Using tcpdump doesn't reveal anything useful, the only difference is
Accept-Language value in Vary header.

Request that works:

# GET -H "Host: hostname.domain.tld" -Used http://hostname.domain.tld
GET http://hostname.domain.tld
Host: hostname.domain.tld
User-Agent: lwp-request/5.834 libwww-perl/5.836

200 OK
