Warning: I'm not an expert ;) Anyway, I don't think rewrite does anything 
useful here.

Maybe you should try:

  SetEnvIf Request_URI ^\/bst\/index\.html XAKA=1
  Header set X-Akamai Yes env=XAKA

==================================
Agreed that this will work, but it will do it pretty much universally for 
all virtual hosts, and the backslash is unnecessary.

The problem with the OP's attempt is a misunderstanding on how the rewrite 
engine works.  RTFM.  What was needed was this:

RewriteRule    ^/bst/index\.html$    -    [NC,E=XAKA:1]
Header set X-Akamai Yes env=XAKA

This is closer to what the OP asked.
