Saw this while looking for something similar:

{snippets from bug report #703}

Synopsis:
response.sendRedirect() in MS Explorer 5.5 fails using mod_jk.dll with
Apache.
Report Description:
Using Internet Explorer 5.5, the page generates a partial header and html. I
can't find the problem on Netscape 4.72. The problem does not occur when
using Tomcat directly. However, it does occur when using the mod_jk.dll with
Apache.

{end snippets}

This is not a bug, it is a usage issue. response.sendRedirect() does not
stop the rest of the servlet or jsp from executing, nor should it. In order
to prevent the problem described from occuring you have to call return after
the redirect.

Of course, you probably already knew that, but I didn't see any updates to
the bug report.
