Zlib / incorrect header check in vanilla request

My request looks like this:

var req = request
    .get("https://apis.live.net/v5.0/me/contacts")
    .query({
    "access_token": accessToken
}).end(function() { });

Seems to be enough to give this error:

Error: incorrect header check
    at Zlib._binding.onerror (zlib.js:295:17)

When I build the URL myself with a valid access token and point my browser to it, the request succeeds.

@defunctzombie i’m still seeing this. newer versions of what? superagent, zlib?

In browser response headers indicate encoding is deflate. When I add this to my request:

.set({"Accept-Encoding" : "gzip,sdch"})

Request succeeds. So problem seems to be in unencoding deflate-encoded streams. (I guess.)
