ob_start("ob_gzhandler");

zlib module is the one writing Vary header.

Reclassified as output control issue, since this is output issue.

Oops, you have

header("Vary: User-Agent,Accept,Accept-Encoding");
ob_start("ob_gzhandler");
ob_flush();

Change it to 

ob_start("ob_gzhandler");
header("Vary: User-Agent,Accept,Accept-Encoding");
ob_flush();

Then it should work. If it works, please close this bug. If not, please reopen.

[yohgaki@dev PHP-5.4]$ ./sapi/cgi/php-cgi 
<?php
ob_start("ob_gzhandler");
header("Vary: User-Agent,Accept,Accept-Encoding");
ob_flush();


X-Powered-By: PHP/5.4.19-dev
Vary: Accept-Encoding

Not yet fixed, still getting "Vary: Accept-Encoding" only


But working fine on version 5.3.2 and 5.2[Checked on my other server having this 
version on php]
