proxy_cache doesn't return headers

Hello,

We have quite busy phpbb based forum. I found that it is quite heavy
loaded with bots(Google, AdSense, Yahoo. It seems that AdSense bot
duplicate every user's request). I have added confuguration to cache all
dynamic requests and return them to bots only(see config below). But I
faced strange issue, when page returned from cache - nginx doesn't pass
any headers back.

So questions are:  
 * Are there anything bad that response considered as http 0.9?
 * Is it possible configure it to return headers in case when page was
returned from cache so response will be considered as 1.1?
 * It seems that cache refreshed evertime when page was hit by user(not
bot). Is it possible to configure it not to refresh it till it is
valid(72h in config). To not produce not necessary IO. 


Here is how it looks in logs
{{{

Here is how response looks in wget -d
--user-agent="Mediapartners-Google"...
