I've had this same problem in Nikto as well... but something I disregarded for Nikto 
could work here.  It could absolutely cause 
false-negatives, but... after XX positives on web attacks we could simply stop 
checking that web server, disregard the results we already 
got and issue a warning about not checking all the tests on the web server.  I've 
never seen a server with 20 or more web specific 
vulnerabilities on the same port without most or all being false positives.  But I've 
seen people just disregard *all* of a scan because 
Nessus reported so many web false-positives...it would certainly stop that.

For the curious, I disregarded it for Nikto because, well, web checks are all it does 
so it seemed kind of silly to stop checking :)
