BufferOverflowException in Tomcat 7.0.x at AjpAprProcessor.output()

Version info:
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
Release: 12.04
Installed: 7.0.26-1ubuntu1.1

Since upgrading from Ubuntu lucid to precise and Tomcat 7.0, our application periodically logs an exception like this to catalina.out:

This bug was reported and fixed upstream as of Tomcat 7.0.28 (https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=53119). Is there any chance this fix could be cherry picked into the Ubuntu precise branch? The 3-line patch is here: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/tomcat/tc7.0.x/trunk/java/org/apache/coyote/ajp/AjpAprProcessor.java?r1=1344253&r2=1344252&pathrev=1344253&view=patch
