There is a workaround, 
If you are serving from a location say /js
You can use a configuration like below to switch ETag: $1-gzip to $1 

<Location /js>
RequestHeader  edit "If-None-Match" "^(.*)-gzip$" "$1"
Header  edit "ETag" "^(.*[^g][^z][^i][^p])$" "$1-gzip"
</Location>

(Perhaps this should be done from mod_deflate as input filter
with the condition that if Client requests with Accept-Encoding: gzip
only then modify If*match headers to their un-gzip values.)

(Also the current value of ETag (+gzip) is not RFC compliant, since RFC
mandates
a quoted string as the value of ETag. As the noted by john, -gzip should be
inside quotes.)
