Is this a limit on commons-upload? The header itself can contain an
arbitrarily high number, so there's no inherent file-size limit on
uploads over HTTP.

I don't think so. Java doesn't overflow like C does. Attempting to read
an int that's too big results in an exception, not a negative result:
$ cat > IntReadTest.java
public class IntReadTest
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
System.out.println(Integer.parseInt(args[0]));
}
}
^D
$ javac IntReadTest
$ java IntReadTest 2147483647
2147483647
$ java IntReadTest 2147483648
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input

Now, if you were using an old version of mod_jk (which you didn't
mention), it's possible that the Content-Length header is being
corrupted. Since you have a filter chain, can you print the (String)
value of the Content-Length header before processing begins? That would
be helpful.
