I don't think it is a matter of how simple the object, but how
it is being stored in the session.

Correct.

The error is likely in webapp code, since the Servlet spec leaves
it up to the webapp to implement thread safe setting and update of
session objects. I haven't researched the HashMap source code to
see exactly how this situation can come about, so I can't say
exactly what to look for. Thus, the not terribly helpful advice
is to examine for thread safety each location where the session is
written.
