As Andy Seaborne points out in a post to another mailing list¹, RFC 2616 says that 5xx codes "indicate cases in which the server is aware that it has erred or is incapable of performing the request". Hence, a 5xx code would seem to fit (unless one differentiates between "incapable" and "unwilling"). Still, I'm not sure; it's equally easy to say argue that the client is being unreasonable in its demands.
