That shouldn't be the case.

You _should_ be able to download packages successfully. The broken mirrors are added on top of the metalink, and tried first, but the working mirrors are included as well, and should eventually be used.

Did you not find this happening?

It clearly works for me: poeml@batavia510 ~ % aria2c --header=X-Broken-Mirrors: http://download.opensuse.org/factory/repo/oss/suse/noarch/bundle-lang-common... 2009-08-13 16:57:29.298836 WARN - You may encounter the certificate verification error with HTTPS server.

Which is the whole point of the exercise! Also note that a ':' is needed after the header specified for aria2c. Otherwise it isn't parsed as valid header line by Apache. It looks as if the colon was lost in recent edits of the feature.
