I have experienced the same issue two times, both scenarios had a
loadbalancer in front of apache while the same scenario in pre-producttion
without load-balancing didn't yield the same problem. All cases involved a
POST response instead of the tipical GET.

I would check if the problem occurs in these situations to discard the
possible cause:

* With one apache down so Balancer always sends to the same server. (Also
check which kind of persistance is set in the balancer).
* Same request without balancer on top.
* Set WLProxyPassThrough to ON and see if there is any difference with
previous two points.
* We also had a case in which the module version was old and needed
FileCaching set to OFF.

Good luck
