It's not in case of C-L. For a starter HEAD is used by quite many robots
with simplistic caches to verify that the copy they have is current and
correct.

The RFC is quite strict that entity headers of a HEAD response SHOULD
match those of a identical GET request, so difference in C-L is not
acceptable by the RFC. (T-E is transport, and may differ)

It's a pity T-E gzip isn't deployable. Would eleminate this whole
question as it's not an entity transform..
