Are you saying the presence of httpd as a proxy in the middle is masking the failure of server1 from the browser; the browser thinks the existing connection to server1 is maintained?

E.g.:

browser makes request to httpd
httpd makes request to server1
browser-to-httpd and httpd-to-server1 connections stay open as server1 pushes data
server1 fails, so httpd-to-server1 connection fails
mod_jk sees the original request is still open, so fails over to server2: httpd-to-server2 connection opened.  browser is oblivious to this
server2 sends a new cookie header
browser isn't expecting more headers, so ignores that
