No, the XBitHack turns .html files with execute permission into SSI
files (equivalent to .shtml), and for SSI files, Apache does NOT put
out a Last-Modified header because SSI generates dynamic content.  To my
knowledge, you can't put out HTTP headers from an SSI file, so I don't
think this is the way to go.

In fact, the behaviour you describe, i.e. no Last-Modified header for
supposedly static .html files, suggests to me that your Apache server
is set to use a server-parsed handler for .html files, just as it is
normally configured by default for .shtml files.  Take a close look
at your *.conf files and any relevant .htaccess file for AddHandler
directives.
