It also does the same thing for static resources, like stylesheets and
JavaScript files.

More details: it turns out that this occurs when using the app_fastcgi.pl
server (through nginx).

When running app_server.pl and changing nginx to make use of
Catalyst::Engine::HTTP::Prefork, this problem doesn't occur.

So is there something about FastCGI that is doing this?
