I ran across this about 4 years ago. The solution was to uninstall OWA, reinstall OWA, then re apply the SP. Not sure if this would work for you but OWA on 5.5 sometimes would act strangely for no reason and this is what a call to MS did back then. I do remember after upgrading the hardware it went away, but that also included a complete rebuild of the server too.
