No, I was trying to _set_ a user agent string because I thought it was
blank.

Why does it do no good to set the user agent string?  What are you talking
about?

Yes, they should, because it seems like Lynx could very well be deficient
in this respect, just like it is not doing the Referrer string properly,
I thought it may not be doing the user agent or something else properly (in
this specific case).
