Zope/Plone and Varnish hanging

I've noticed the same problem as Joao Correia and Martin Aspeli; after
some requests, especially having to do with forms, Varnish hangs for a
while.
The problem has to do with these 2 tickets,
http://varnish.projects.linpro.no/ticket/129 and
http://varnish.projects.linpro.no/ticket/47 but it seems there is no
fix yet, even though ticket 129 has been marked fixed.

I found that adding option '-p pipe_timeout=1' made the problem a bit
less noticeable by making the hanging pipe time out after just 1
second, but it still requires you to reload the page after most form
actions and the error message it shows is not very elegant either.

So is there any idea when this problem might get fixed? Seeing how
1.0.4 didn't have this problem there should be a solution for it,
right?
