To me this sounds like your varnish isn't actually configured properly.  Your web server is `in charge` of sending objects to varnish.
If your php is configured to parse '<?' in files ending in '.php', then it'll do just that.  Varnish doesn't mangle any header that would
prevent your webserver from doing so.  Are you sure you are using the proper ip?  Often I see times where people use 127.0.0.1 as their backend,
when in fact apache isn't configured to serve php pages on 127.0.0.1.  This is just a brief example.

This sounds much like the php problem/example.  If your pages are being returned from the web server as plain text, then this would be a symptom.

My suggestion is to double check your varnish config and make sure it points to a valid virtualhost.  Double check your apache config to ensure you
have a virtualhost listening on the ip address you told varnish to get its data.
