pjcampbell_7243For testing purposes I tried something like
when HTTP_REQUEST {

Is that an error from Tomcat? What is the full text of the error? Do you see the same issue if you make the same request directly to the pool member?
See this page for some possibly related info:
http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/CharacterEncoding
Once you have an understanding of the problem, if you want to rewrite either an HTTP request or response header or body, reply here and we can help you.
