I found the reason.

It seems that TYPO3 tries to download a page from url given in
[pageNotFound_handling] (when using the simple string version),
using curl library.

In my case:

 * There was no php5-curl installed.

 * For security reasons my webserver had blocked "outgoing" connections,
and my domain resolved to an external IP. Therefore my installation
could not download a page from itself.

It helped to install php5-curl and add an entry "mydomain -> 127.0.0.1"
in local /etc/hosts file.
