It is returned on a different site using the released version of W3TC rather than the development version, but no CDN (still WP 3.0)
works: http://words.mikefinley.co.uk/robots.txt
doesn’t: http://blog.roguegenecollective.com/robots.txt

Found it!
Its caused by the ‘Do not process 404 errors for static objects with WordPress’ which includes txt files amongst those it doesn’t pass on to WordPress.
If I edit the .htaccess and remove .txt from that list it works though W3TC is very protective of its changes and keeps wanting to putting it back!
Thanks for sharing what you learned!
This issue will be fixed in the next release.
I found a typo, but actually could not duplicate this issue @efikim. Can you submit a bug submission form from the support tab of the plugin so I can take a look?

I’ve ‘fixed’ it on my site by simply disabling ‘do not process 404 errors’. That won’t have had the very latest dev version applied – you already have access to it from another bug report if you want to look at exactly what is there.
I’ll be converting another site later this week, and will download the latest dev version of W3TC before hand – I’ll check it out on that one and submit a bug for it if necessary.
(I need to find time to do some work on the child theme I use there first)
