[users@httpd] New error_log message from 2.2.13

I recently upgraded my server to
Apache/2.2.13 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.13 OpenSSL/0.9.8i  
mod_apreq2-20090110/2.7.1 mod_perl/2.0.5-dev Perl/v5.10.1
in which everything mentioned is new except OpenSSL.

It has been running fine, but there are a few messages in error_log,  
of a type not seen before:

In each pair of lines, the 1st is from error_log while the 2nd is  
from access_log (abbreviated).

All of the errors occurred on requests for jpg thumbnails that are  
cached by conf statements like these:
> CacheFile /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/1n/aardvark.jpg
> CacheFile /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/1n/anteater.jpg


The error handling is stock Apache; the httpd.conf file was carried  
over from earlier versions of 2.2, and includes:

> Alias /error/ "/usr/local/apache2/error/"
>
> <Directory "/usr/local/apache2/error">
>     AllowOverride None
>     Options IncludesNoExec
>     AddOutputFilter Includes html
>     AddHandler type-map var
>     Order allow,deny
>     Allow from all
>     LanguagePriority en cs de es fr it ja ko nl pl pt-br ro sv tr
>     ForceLanguagePriority Prefer Fallback
> </Directory>
>
> ErrorDocument 400 /error/HTTP_BAD_REQUEST.html.var
> ErrorDocument 401 /error/HTTP_UNAUTHORIZED.html.var
> ...


The only mod_perl2 handler that is invoked for a .jpg file is a fixup  
handler, and it for sure :) only returns OK.

Are such errors familiar to anyone?  Is there anything I can do to  
eliminate them?

Thanks,
