Are you sure it is sent to the client? Typo3 does internal HTTP request 
to web server to fetch this page and it will appear with code 200 in 
logs. Typo3 will send then content of this page with 404 code to client. 
You can use this tool to check status code of any page:

This has nothing to do with typo3 and does not affect typo3.
