Don't understand what you mean by "appengine-web.xml" file.
But what Mr. Nick Johnson is suggesting I believe is to set an
expiration time for your static content as described  here:

http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/config/appconfig.html
i.e  use a default expiration or expiration declaration in your Yaml
file.

I don't see all this as a potential bug.
