OK, I've spent two hours on this and was able to minimize down to file 
cowboy_protocol.erl, which seems to be responsible for the behavior you 
are reporting. With this file compiled to BEAM byte code and everything 
else compiled to native code, cowboy seems to be working fine on my 
tests. Can you please confirm?

If this file is the problematic one, perhaps you can disable native code 
compilation just for it for the time being. Also, it would help me if 
you trace all the calls to its functions and check whether their returns 
differ between byte code and native code execution.

I will look more into it when I find some time...
