This is not bad, but
     http://sourceforge.net/projects/mod-gzip/
would already offer version 1.3.26.1a.

So you are running some mod_ssl code as well, are you?

This may cause a lot of additional problems, as mod_gzip
and mod_ssl don't fit together very well and require some
rather tricky mechanism to get them to work as a team.

Unfortunately, you didn't make mod_gzip log its status
value. This one would tell quite a story, so that you
could see whether mod_gzip actually has been invoked,
and if so, why it still chose to not compress the content.

See above.

There are many possible reasons - using SSL for your
requests being one of the more likely ones.

Improve your log definition like
     http://www.schroepl.net/projekte/mod_gzip/config.htm#logging
should tell you, then post the results here.
