A similar problem is reported in PR#2636 This really isn't due to upgrading Apache, but due to changing your config files, which you may happen to do as a part of upgrading Apache. You simply have to set Options FollowSymLinks for that directory. I guess a note about the default config files being changed may be appropriate.
