Shain, Based on your trace, that browser is getting a "miss" and then can't fetch the document from the origin server. I did notice that there is a cookie set, which might be what's causing the miss. Now, you could get around that with the right VCL file configuration. I'm not certain if there is a VCL configuration that would cause varnish to simply disregard the Pragma and Cache-Control headers from the client, because anyone doing a shift+reload while your origin server is down is going to get sent back to the origin server as well.
