Tomcat does remembers the original "POST data". I know because once a user successfuly sings in, the original "POST data" is available either from a jsp or servlet. The problem is that it is not available within the login.jsp page.
Why would you need that strange thing ? ;-)
Anyway, putting together Chuck's response and mine and yours, it appears that this POST data is thus stuffed away somewhere by Tomcat.
You might be able to do some detective work, find out where, and go get it.
It still sounds strange (to me) that you would need this at the moment of running your login.jsp though..

Except that it (usually) breaks down if the original request was a POST. Because then, the server would have needed to remember, not only the URI of the original request, but also
the content (body) of it, since it was made via a POST.

I am willing to be impressed, but I don't think that Tomcat's form-based authentication mechanism would be able to read the
original POST data, memorise it somewhere, and then "replay it"
when it gets the login form duly completed.

You need to be impressed: Tomcat does exactly what you don't think it's
able to.  Read the servlet spec, and the doc for the maxSavePostSize attribute
of the <Connector> element.
