I searched for bugs with "Content-Encoding identity" in either the summary or comments. None were returned. I then searched for only "Content-Encoding" and only the current 28069 was returned. So, perhaps there are other search criteria that will give us a list of the old bugs.
Looks like I filed it in Mozilla's bug tracker during the Firefox 2 development days; since the next version of the biggest cross-platform browser didn't support it, I never actually committed the version using 'identity' to our SVN.

Apparently the bug's been resolved somewhere between 2006 and 2010 (my test URL still pumps out the header, and it loads in Firefox 4 RC1), but I haven't done a thorough browser survey to see whether any release versions of Firefox 2 or 3 broke, or any other browsers or proxies or client apps would be similarly affected by it.
