I'm still baffled.  How does this matter to anything?

The HTTP headers you describe would end up in an HTTP_REMOTE_USER environment 
variable, with no impact on REMOTE_USER.  REMOTE_USER could only be set by an 
actual web server, not via an HTTP header.

So I don't get how this is a security issue, or even a bug at all.
