Seems this change fixed it:

     def output_feed
       print "Content-type: text/xml\n\n"
       $stdout.flush
       print rss_xml
       $stdout.flush
     end

Without the flush, I guess Apache was aware that the output may not be done
and automatically went into 'chunked' mode.

With the flush, 'Transfer-encoded: chunked' is not used and the XML comes
across clean.
