Ok lets summarize, you have one apache load balancing the two backend apaches which are load balancing the two backend tomcat servers. I personally can't see any fault in this line up or your apache proxy configuration and no reason really why would tomcat cluster session replication stop working . Maybe has to do something with the first apache? How is that one configured? Although the worker/tomcat name will always be in the client cookie and doesn't really matter which one of the two apaches will handle the request. Assuming they both have identical proxy balancer configuration...have you checked that?
Also did you enabled the extra logging as per the link I sent? That should help you in the troubleshooting, without knowing what exactly is in the requests you can't do much can you? Also didn't answer if there are any errors in the apache logs?
