doug,
thanks for the response.  I had tried the bandaid with no luck.
Probably should have said that in the post :-) I will try to get a simple
example out today that shows the problem in full.  I have worked around it
by creating an empty CGI object and the populating it from $r->content.  But
this seems to be a really ugly way through the problem.  I have also noticed
some funny effects on basic_auth when I do this.  But I will try to get a
small example of the problem.  Overall what I am trying to achieve (in
common with others) is to enable a handler to make decisions about a request
based on data in a POST request and still have this data correctly available
for later phases of the request.

this is actually not related to that bug.  the bug 1.21 fixed what that
registered cleanups were not always called.  this bug is triggered by
CGI.pm calling Apache->request before the content response phase.  Ali,
give us more details on your module, what phase is it called in?  you
should be able to bandaid with this configuration:
PerlPostReadRequestHandler 'sub { Apache->request(shift) }'
