You can simply set ModPagespeed off in an .htaccess file. This will disable all rewiting of HTML in that directory. It will not stop mod_pagespeed from rewriting images/CSS/JS in that directory.

To disable rewriting of all HTML and resources, you can add ModPagespeedDisallow http://www.example.com/subdir/* anywhere in your config. See documentation for more info. Note that this requires you to specify the entire URL, not just a relative path.

Actually you can use wildcards now like ModPagespeedDisallow "*/images/captcha/*" - from https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/module/restricting_urls – Phill Price Mar 31 '15 at 08:35

In your .htaccess file (in the directory you want to disable), put the following lines:

<IfModule pagespeed_module>
    ModPagespeed off
</IfModule>

That will disable it for that directory only and will prevent errors when there's no pagespeed module enabled on the webserver.
