I had exactly the problem you described and your solution worked perfectly. I also used the wordpress widget "Broken Link Checker" to give me feedback on your fix without the need to wait for the googlebot. Thank you for managing to solve this issue, and most of all thank you for sharing it!

Simply adding : <code> header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK"); header("Status: 200 All rosy") ; </code> to the index.php in the project root was the key.
