Well, that is not the case : the default VCL (and varnishd) does not support "Cache-control: no-cache/private" and "Pragma: no-cache" (which, IMHO, a "classical reverse proxy" should support)... So you need to add some VCL logic.

Otherwise, I totally agree with "The Principle Of Least Astonishment".
