well, part of the problem is that Apache->request($r) doesn't bless a new
request properly.
I know that Ken has recently tried working on the problem and had placed it
on Doug's radar:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=9860080401&w=2&r=1
(ping :)
at any rate, it probably won't work, but maybe try switching the order
around? That is, maybe call Apache::Request->new on the request object
returned by filter_register?

RE: Apache::Filter upgrade issues...
I've run into this before as well, and what i ended up doing to get around
it was keeping the original $r around long enough to call filter_register.
my $r = shift;
my $req = Apache::Request->new($r);
$r = $r->filter_register();
