Well, that's disappointing... Thanks for testing and reporting this!

It's the filter execution ordering that breaks ngx_pagespeed.

Basically, right now, ngx_pagespeed runs after Brotli compression, so
it sees compressed content, which it doesn't know how to optimize...
This should be fixed shortly ;)
