I tried to reproduce this error and I couldn't.

In a clean lenny chroot I installed apache2, tomcat5.5,
tomcat5.5-webapps, and libapache2-mod-jk. After that
I setup a trivial test website.

I upgraded libapache2-mod-jk to 1.2.30-1 and the website
keeps working. There were not errors at mod_jk.log.

In another clean lenny chroot configured in the same way
and after doing a dist-upgrade to squeeze (and also
upgrading libapache2-mod-jk to 1.2.30-1), the website
keeps working. There were not errors at mod_jk.log.

Note: my workstation is an amd64.
