request.getRemoteUser() works for me (mod_jk 1.2.25 and TC 5.5.23)
1) remove the JkEnvVar REMOTE_USER. It's not an Apache environment
variable, and it will be forwarded by mod_jk automatically
2) Set log level to debug in a dev system. The request should produce a
line similar to
[Sun Aug 26 01:12:03.482 2007] [27669:0] [debug]
init_ws_service::mod_jk.c (782): Service protocol=HTTP/1.1 method=GET
host=(null) addr=127.0.0.1 name=fraxinus.entenhausen.zz port=8080
auth=Basic user=jung laddr=127.0.0.1 raddr=127.0.0.1 uri=/auth.jsp
Here you can see, that mod_jk found Basic authentication and User "jung"
in the Apache repesentation of the request.

Starting from 01e0 we have "03" for "remote_user", then "0008" for 8
Bytes, then the name of the remote user "omnafees" and a terminating
"00", then "04" for authentication type, "0005" for length 5, and
"Basic" as the authentication type. That looks fine!

Looks good to me.
Try with a very simple servlet first. Maybe put in in the root context
to isolate it from alle complex things in your webapp:
<HTML>
User: <%=request.getRemoteUser() %>
</HTML>
