Okay, I've found out a quick workaround and got my tests passing completely :D

Essentially I now require my ngx_chunkin module's users to define a
411 error_page themselves, like this:

     chunkin on;
     error_page 411 = @my_error;
     location @my_error {
         chunkin_resume;
     }

That is, custom error pages take precedence over the default
"discard_request_body" call. It's surely a hack, but it works for me
;)

Still I'd love to see this content-length issue gets resolved in the
core. I won't mind adding a few more instances of #if and #else :)
