For what its worth,

I tested the same on my Nokia E71, and get the same result as you.
Relevent line from the Apache access.log file is:

"GET /mythweb/tv/channel/1207/20110914 HTTP/1.1" 200 1128 
"http://10.0.11.10/mythweb/tv/list" "Mozilla/5.0 (SymbianOS/9.2; U; 
Series60/3.1 NokiaE71-1/510.21.009; Profile/MIDP-2.0 
Configuration/CLDC-1.1 ) AppleWebKit/413 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/413"

Pasting http://10.0.11.10/mythweb/tv/channel/1207/20110914 into a web 
browser on my desktop gives the listing for that channel as expected.  
No errors are logged in the apache error.log

MythTV Version   : v0.24.1-84-g8f865a6
MythTV Branch    : fixes/0.24
