The normal CGI still continues to run after the connection to the browser has been closed with apache reading and discarding its output. The nph- variant doesn't seem to give a mime-type at all so that mozilla tries to download it as application/octet-stream and navigator 4.79 is showing the output literally.
If someone could point me at the piece of source to look for that output-discarding I could start hacking about myself. I found something in mod_cgi.c already but that seems to apply to redirects only. The output discard after connection break seems to happen at the end of the filter stack. If it's of any relevance to the problem: The whole thing is running on an SGI Indigo2 with IRIX 6.5.16f and was compiled using MIPSpro cc 7.2.3.1 and linked against various precompiled open source libs from freeware.sgi.com.
