You were right, the copy of blah.jsp on production server had been corrupted by SVN (there was a conflict when I checked blah out). It wasn't a Tomcat issue at all.
I only thing is that the corruption (actually SVN's DIFF notation) was nowhere near line 28, it was further down in the file. Perhaps Tomcat could have been helpful in indicating this.
