I'm curious -- did you find a solution to this problem.  We have recently moved from a single mongrel thread to a placing mongrel behind Apache's load balancer and we are running into the same problem -- the initial request to the application initiates a session, but subsequent requests fail because the session data is empty.  Like you, if we don't use the load balancer it works fine.
