I ran into the same problem and started investigating.

Actually the header should read "Last-Modified" (note spelling). After
patching the dwww script to emit the correct header the error no longer
occurs with Apache.
This incorrect header is output by the script /usr/sbin/dwww-convert. I made
the following change to it:
--- dwww-convert.OLD 2017-01-12 06:24:58.208140587 +0100
+++ dwww-convert 2017-01-12 06:25:13.900487551 +0100

} # }}}
Although the date string is technically in an obsolete format, conforming
clients (like Apache) are required to be able to parse it. So this poses no
further problem.
