I’ve encountered this bug recently as I wanted to find relate sessions with their originator on a load-balanced tomcat in front of an nginx acting as a proxy. Until now I always had to put this in the lib folder of a tomcat installation. Now the guys from apache finally integrated it into their codebase (6.0.20) and it works right out of the box. Whoohoo!!
