    I got a spate of these a while back, but haven't noticed them for a while. The
    content of the non-encoded part of the request tended to be a piece of HTML
    that was located somewhere on the site (although, now you mention it, it is
    quite likely to have been something generated with PHP). I checked to see if
    the same IP addresses had accessed anything else on the site, perhaps having
    the content in a buffer or something, but that came back negative. I ended up
    not getting any further with it, got busy, and forgot about it. Didn't
    consider it could be an apache issue.

    Anyway, I would have seen it on around apache versions 2.0.47-ish. I haven't
    noticed it on 2.0.50 (I still get the \0x90 parts, but not the content at the
    end.) PHP version around 4.3.7. I could do a more comprehensive look at when
    I saw what in the logs versus what versions of apache and PHP I was running
    at the time, if deemed useful.
