The patch that fixes this issue was provided with the following PR that has been merged to trunk, however it has not been added to a release yet.
This issue is being tracked for JBCS in https://issues.redhat.com/browse/JBCS-385 and is actually blocking it, so could you please evaluate adding it to RHEL httpd?
Thank you,
