JAX-RS Web Services are not returning GZIP responses after upgrading to JBoss EAP 6.4.14

Issue

After upgrading to JBoss EAP 6.4.14 we are seeing that our JAX-RS resources are not returning ZIP content anymore. It happens even when we have the org.jboss.resteasy.annotations.GZIP annotation on the JAX-RS methods.
When we use RESTEasy client we have an exception:
