Update: I've been double checking various things and I saw that the Apache documentation recommends to restart the server using a control script, so I'll use "apachectl -k restart" from now on. For JBoss to run multiple instances on the same machine, they have a service binding manager to handle all the various different ports. I basically followed the setup available here: http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=ConfiguringMultipleJBossInstancesOnOneMachine . I found that the different port options they have by default (named "ports-01", "ports-02", and "ports-03") use the same AJP port of 8009, so I thought this was the cause of the problem. However, setting the entry for ports-02 to 8010 does not resolve the issue; rather it now causes both of the Apache workers to go into an error state... very strange. Since this seems to be an issue with JBoss, I'll move the issue over to them and see if they have any insight.
