The output filters should *always* run, if at least to send an EOS bucket.
That EOS is actually what triggers the delivery of the headers to the
network (or at least to the CORE filter for output buffering into the next
request).

So if you're not seeing output filters run, then a bug exists.

(IOW: theory says you're doing the right thing)
