I know this is a very old question, but it appears there's a more up-to-date answer.

To have Apache not append the -gzip suffix, you must use the DeflateAlterETag directive with a value of NoChange.

See the documentation for this here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_deflate.html#deflatealteretag
