Maybe more like the Apache users list though.

Let's maybe summarise the issue first.
Your configuration is :
client <-> apache httpd with mod_deflate <-> mod_jk <-> Tomcat

The responses are generated by Tomcat, but you have to see this a bit differently. As far as Apache httpd is concerned, the "response handler" or "content generator" is mod_jk. Apache does not really know or care that there is a Tomcat behind. It just passes a request to mod_jk, and gets a response in return.

The real "culprit" here for your chunked encoding and lack of content-length header is mod_deflate (as Rainer indicated). It has to do that, because it compresses the response on-the-fly, and does not know the compressed response size in advance.

There are quite a few possibilities to "tailor" the behaviour of mod_deflate, so maybe you want to have a look again at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_deflate.html
before anything else.
