I encountered a similar problem, where one servlet had a bug where the
headers would be set _after_ the data had been sent.  The result was
that unrelated responses would come back as text/plain.  Once I found
the offending code and fixed it, the issue has not surfaced again.

We recently switched our development JBOSS instance from 4.05GA to 4.21GA, 
where we are have been using mod_jk for connecting an Apache front end server 
(2.2) to the Tomcat AppServer. We have noticed periodic times when the apache 
web server will return data with a content-type of plain/text (the server 
default) instead of the real content-type, and a chunked encoding (even if the 
AppServer was producing a non-chunked content). We tried switch to 
mod_proxy_ajp, but got the same result.

A bit of sleuthing (2 days X 2 engineers) revealed that the AJP connection on 
Tomcat is sending a SEND_BODY_CHUNK (which I assume is a flush packet) 
periodically that seem to be confusing mod_jk. We can see in the mod_jk and 
mod_proxy_ajp debug log that the correct headers are coming from the Tomcat 
server. However, it seems like mod_jk and mod_proxy_ajp are losing all the 
header information regarding the packet (including the Powered by headers, 
content-type, content-length, cookies, etc.).

In normal operation, for a sample small transaction, we would see this sequence 
in response:
SEND_HEADERS
SEND_BODY_CHUNK
END_RESPONSE

When the output would come out as text/plain, we would see this sequence:
SEND_BODY_CHUNK
SEND_HEADERS
SEND_BODY_CHUNK
END_RESPONSE

Is there something we should have configured differently so that mod_jk or 
mod_proxy_ajp will behave better?
