RFC 2616 says about 304 responses:
(http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-10.3.5)

   If the conditional GET used a strong cache validator (see section
   13.3.3), the response SHOULD NOT include other entity-headers.
   Otherwise (i.e., the conditional GET used a weak validator), the
   response MUST NOT include other entity-headers; this prevents
   inconsistencies between cached entity-bodies and updated headers.

Content-Type is entity header and not listed above this paragraph, 
so clearly qualifies as "other entity-headers".

Could you please clarify why you think RFC is wrong here and you 
need Content-Type in 304 response?
