Fix your backend (there is a bug in mod_php which causes Apache to return chunked encoding if one uses header("HTTP/1.1 ...")) or upgrade nginx, see this faq entry for details.

Turns out this is a chunked encoding issue. Will work on possibly enabling it on the Nginx side. I've applied the configuration change to Apache to disable chunked encoding on the PHP pages, and that has resolved the issue. Thanks.
