I replaced my code with exactly the same headers code mentioned in this question, and it does work as well. My export process code looks like:

if( isset( $_GET['export'] ) ) {

    $csv = generate_csv();

    $filename = 'results.csv';
    $now = gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s') . ' GMT';

    header( 'Content-Type: application/octet-stream' ); // tells browser to download

    header( 'Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . $filename .'"' );
    header( 'Pragma: no-cache' ); // no cache
    header( 'Expires: ' . $now ); // expire date

    echo $csv;
    exit;
}

The last two headers tell the browser not to cache the exported content.
