which HTTP status code is produced in either of these cases?
Which mod_gzip status code is set in your enhanced access_log?

mod_gzip assumes that a compressible content will only be
available when a status code 200 is going to be sent.

In all other cases it will decline to compress the page
and set the mod_gzip status code SEND_AS_IS:NO_200,
as described in
     http://www.schroepl.net/projekte/mod_gzip/status.htm#SEND_AS_IS:NO_200
So I don't think you can get what you seem to want (which I
assume is delivering HTTP error pages in compressed form).
