This is how it is in nginx now. For example, if a response has been sent over
HTTP with chunked transfer encoding, the $body_bytes_sent also will not equal
to payload size.

Personally I do not really agree with that, but it should be discussed and 
changed globally.

Strange. How do you found out that it responded with 304 Not Modified?
