If you look back through your logs, does the LB::server always equal zero when HTTP::request_num equals one?
If so, that simply indicates that the LB decision hasn't been made yet, so the zero is a placeholder and it doesn't mean that the request is lost; it is present on all the subsequent requests because the TCP connection hasn't been shut down, so that client is connected to the pool member listed in LB::server and no LB decision is being made.
To get the LB::server on the first pass, you would have to request it in the LB_SELECTED event
