Ok, makes sense.

If it's not intended that after session.invalidate() a
request.getSession() returns a session with the same id the catalina
request would just have to store that the
requestedSessionIdWasInvalidated so that in doGetSession it checks
additionally this property before invoking
manager.createSession(getRequestedSessionId());

Shall I submit an issue for this?
