Ran into the same thing with apache 1.3. We have a patch that adds a
custom hook that is called before headers are sent and we can re-set
it back to text/xml there (remember this is 1.3).

You could call ap_custom_response, set a flag in r->notes, have a
output filter in your module that checks r->notes and if the flag set
it scans for Content-type and resets it to text/xml.
