What seems more likely to work, without needing to change message framing, is a 3xx status code, indicating that the final response is found later in this message, a chunked body, and a trailer containing a new field that lists the final status code.

That would pass intermediaries, as it follows total message framing. Transposition could be a problem if you really mean to move the control data.
