Mark,
Check the session id that is included in the request (getRequestedSessionId) and verify that this sessionid is ALWAYS identical to the one used when the session was created. More than likely, you'll find this is not the case. If you're convinced that the sessionid is found at one moment and not at another, try to find a way to reproduce it and then post that to the list.
There's a 99% chance something is wrong with your code and/or the client's response causing the behavior you're seeing. The fact that you're seeing it with one particular servlet (presumably one type of use case) makes it even more likely.

When I look at the source page URL is not encoded.
