I placed the following into the config for the corresponding virtual host:

<Location /webapp> 
   AddDefaultCharset utf-8
</Location>

Yesterday after restart of httpd I found no difference in behaviour...
Now the directive does work as expected.

So mod_jk/httpd can be configured to work around the issue.
Maybe I saw an old page from some sort of cache/proxy :(
