I have also replicated this issue
slack 9.0. 1.3.27 / 4.3.2
I have also applied the above fix
<snip>
<?
if( strtoupper($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'])=="CONNECT"){
header("HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed");
die();
}
?>
</snip>
I has stopped the issue until php releases the fix

this is my temporally fix:
i put it in an include file with a nice body (coppied from apache
response to connect) and include it on top of index.php files for each
virtual server:
<?
if( strtoupper($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REQUEST_METHOD'])=="CONNECT"){
header("HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed");
die();
}
?>
you should probably use $_SERVER[] instead... and no empty lines in
your include file, otherwise header() gets confused

i found this bug affecting my servers too.
the severity of it is that spammers scan for open proxies and then
don't check that they get smtp connection back, anything that's
succesfull request puts the address on their proxy list.
the result: i've got basically denial of service attack. My server was
getting thousands of requests ("connect x.x.x.x:25) per hours,
sometimes hundreds per minute. SInce it does a lot of mysql querries my
database gaved up and started throwing can't connect to database
errors.
it is still a persistent problem. for a time being i check my counters
and whenever i get large number of requests from same ip address i just
ban it on my firewall.
that is not a good sollution so still looking for a way to really fix
it.

apache 1.3.27, php 4.3.1 (LoadModule), the problem of bad 200 response
code exist.
according to the first email, the known (for me) solution for this
problem is to create index.html page and in this page redirect to
index.php, then the response code id 405.
