  Is this related to mod_security? E.g. are you chrooting Apache
  with it?

  Maybe you can try creating a folder such as

    /var/run/apache2/

  symlinked

  to

    /var/chroot/apache2/var/run/apache2/

  and change the PID location to

    /var/run/apache2/apache2.pid

  This would ensure the same PID file is used from inside
  and outside the jail.
