Even your regular expressions for User-Agent aren't doing exactly what
you intended, because mod_rewrite does not anchor patterns.
While I totally agree that browser sniffing isn't a way to go, I must
say that Accept headers cannot be used to resolve this because MSIE
claims to support */* in the Accept header that it sends.
And Googlebot claims to accept "application/*".
Despite that Accept header can resolve this issue. XHTML browsers include
full "application/xhtml+xml" MIME type, so you can avoid false positives
if you ignore wildcard matches in negotiation. While it's not perfect, I
think it's still better than using User-Agent for the same purpose.
