Thankfully (and shamefully) it did in fact turn out to be something on
our end. Basically there was object that had a reference to the response
output stream that would close the stream when it was getting garbage
collected which had as a side effect that tomcat would set the response
that owned the stream as being committed already. Thanks for the help.

Lesson learned: double check that streams are closed correctly.
