I agree. MPM event in 2.4 has lots of changes compared to 2.2 and is 
no longer experimental. I would not waste time to debug that problem 
in 2.2's MPM event.

Can you add a comment in your package, that this should be checked 
again once 2.4 is released and in Debian? If it still happens then, a 
but against apache2 would be appropriate.
