Sorry, I hadn't actually paid attention to the main post. That's not how
HTTP or AJAX work. Every request to the server is independent (even the
pictures linked in <img> tags!) and has its own headers, whether you
write them yourself or they're all generated by the PHP interpreter or
the web server.

It looks like you're trying to fix a problem you don't have. I suggest
you install the Firebug extension for Firefox, enable the Net
panel for your dev site and see by yourself how things run in the
background.

Also: "ob_gzhandler() determines what type of content encoding the
browser will accept and will return its output accordingly."

Thanks, Alvaro, that was the key. I have Firebug, but had never
noticed the Net tab before. Looking at it, I see that although the
length of my AJAX data is unknown (represented by a ?), by checking
the headers for that segment I can see that it is actually getting
gzipped. Thanks for the help!
