Does an incoming request contain HTTP header: 

Accept-Encoding
i.e. 
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
? You may also have issues with payload search & replace functions if end-server responds with compressed content. Note that you can still compress on the clientside (i.e. use HTTP Compression profile), but the serverside content must remain uncompressed.

Try the following:

when HTTP_REQUEST {

  if { [HTTP::header exists "Accept-Encoding"]}{
    HTTP::header remove Accept-Encoding
  }
   ... The rest of your iRule

}
