This may or may not be true. I have seen a lot of configurations (mine
included) where the pass-throughs look like this:

JkMount /context/*.jsp worker
JkMount /context/j_security_check worker

Instead of:

JkMount /context worker
JkMount /context/* worker

Possibly. If the images are protected, you will certainly have this
problem. The OP said that a RELOAD fixed the images, though, so I think
the problem was that Apache httpd /was/ configured to serve images, and
the ;jsessionid parameter was present because, at the login screen, the
server doesn't yet know if the client will send cookies.

The OP didn't say anything about post authentication. My bet is on
JkStripSession.
