It may be expected behaviour, but I would tend to agree with the suggestion that this is a bad idea.
Moving to a feature/change request.

This is expected behaviour, use header("Last-Modified: ..."); to change the default value
of this header.

Description:
------------
When using 'public' or 'private' cache limiter (maybe other cache limiters,
except 'nocache'), PHP will output the PHP script's mtime as the Last-Modified
header. While this is okay for some purposes, the dynamic nature of PHP scripts make this a bad
"feature".
It's possible to circumvent this problem by manually sending a header() but IMHO this should
never be necessary.
My proposal would be to change these affected limiters to either not output Last-Modified or output
a current time Last-Modified header using the format date('D, d M Y H:i:s O'). Note that
date('r') doesn't work in some cases.
