Answered this in private. My response in short: The "space" in the Accept header is valid according to the RFC in question, no problem there.
When left-clicking and going through Save-As the Firefox download manager handles the initial connect. dTa only gets the redirected (to a mirror) URL, and hence the TCN happens with the mirror, which won't work. This is a known limitation, and a fix is not expected for 2.0, but only later. Actually I'm not quite sure how to tackle this right now; there are a few options, most of which suck :p Using dTa from the start, i.e. Right-click/dta on a link that points to a TCN enabled server like mirrorbrain, will work, however.
