Chrome's Dev Tools displays network response preview as a string


After a recent update (about a month ago), it seems that the Preview pane on the Network tab has quit rendering the response as a JSON object. Instead it outputs the response as a string. This was working as expected prior to the update.

We have been and still are sending the correct header type as suggested in this question - Chrome (43.0.2357.81) JSON tree in network preview panel

I've also found a few suggestions that this has been a problem in the past but alludes to the fact it was fixed? - Google Chrome - Dev Tools - Network Tab - Preview - JSON vs. Text

I've posted to Dev Tool's Twitter account as well as submitted an email/bug with no further input. Has anyone fixed this issue for version 45.0.2454.101 (64-bit) or the previous version?
