At least the JSP part is supposed to be fixed.
It's bug 3107 (http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3107), and
the attached test case (which looks like it would duplicate your problem) is
now working fine for me.

If it's still not working, would it be possible to pull together a test case
? Could I get the stack trace you get in your threaded app if pulling
together a test case isn't possible ?
