The request appears to have originated from 91.121.153.210 - which appears to be owned by these guys: www.medialta.eu/accueil.html
I find this rather impressive - a request from 'all' user-agents.

There's actually quite a few of these requests over at least the few days - so it naturally piqued my interested.

Searching Google simply seems to produce a very long list of websites which make their Apache access logs publicly available...

Is this some weird indication that we're being targeted? And by who?

You failed to share the ip address of the request - so its a bit more difficult to answer the who - but a good idea of why could be a simple scan to check and see if the website is working with all browsers.

This is standard for many developers when they make a change -
services like BrowserShots.org generally show up this way.
