Apparently something, or this wouldn't happen.  Have you checked to see whether they're included in the payload?  That may help you narrow down the piece that is dropping the encoded characters.  I think it's possible to log AJP packets in either httpd or Tomcat, but you can always just tcpdump 8009.
