struts 2.1.2 action url fails (possible bug)

[Struts Two]

I have deployed struts 2.1.2 blank.war application (on Websphere V6.1 with EJB 3 feature pack) under the context root of "ccol" with basic form security enabled. if I enter the url:
https://localhost:9445/ccol/index.html  
then the url is redirected to 
https://localhost:9445/ccol/exa  mple/HelloWorld.action
I see the example page ( within the same browser, I can now enter any url that ends with ".action" . However, if I open a new browser and enter: https://localhost:9445/ccol/example/HelloWorld  .action
I get "page not found" error. I then installed 2.0.11 blank.war application, everything works fine with no problem. Below is the first few lines in the server dump that got when 2.1.2 blank.war failed.

[5/8/08 9:23:38:095 EDT] , key = java.io.FileNotFoundException com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.extension.DefaultExtensionProcessor.handleRequest 573
Exception = java.io.FileNotFoundException

probeid = 573
Stack Dump = java.io.FileNotFoundException: /example/HelloWorld.action

Can you verify what version of WAS 6.1 you are running, and can you check and make sure this fix is applied -

The errors you describe are symptoms of not having the filter-compatibility property set.

Websphere version: 6.1.0.13 (which includes the fix - the fix was included in 6.1.0.7). I have also set the following flag to 'true' in the server custom properties for filter-compatibility: com.ibm.ws.webcontainer.invokefilterscompatibility
the blank.war for struts 2.0.11 works fine, I have few more sample apps like showcase-2.0.11.1 and sample app for "struts 2 in action book"
running on the same server and all work fine. The problem occurs only with struts 2.1.2.

If you have time, can you please test with 2.1.1 and 2.1.0?

I have deployed 2.1.1 and I get the same result. I would like to mention that the error occurs only if Security [either Basic or form based] is enabled [ users are authenticated agains LDAP server by WAS container]. That is say, if I enter https://localhost:9445/ccol/index.html , I get prompted for id and pwd (through http form dialog box) and then the url goes to https://localhost:9445/ccol/example/HelloWorld.action. However, if I enter https://localhost:9445/ccol/example/HelloWorld.action in a new browser, I do not even get challenged for id and pwd and I get page not found error. I have been running all other sample apps for 2.0.11 in a secure mode with same setting and they work fine. But if I disable security, then entering a url that ends with *.action works both for 2.1.1 and 2.1.2.

Can anyone of the developers be kind enough to verify if this is a bug. I have done no coding of my own. I have deployed blank.wars for struts 2.0.11 and 2.1.2 on the same server both have form based authentication enabled. The following url works for 2.0.11  https://localhost:9445/struts2.0.11/example/HelloWorld.action .But this fail for 2.1.2 https://localhost:9445/struts2.1.2/example/HelloWorld.action !!! (page not found error)
Now if I enter https://localhost:9445/struts2.1.2/index.hml  Then the url is redirected to https://localhost:9445/struts2.1.2/example/HelloWorld.action and it works !!!!.
As I mentioned before any url ending with "*.action" which is entered in a newly opened browser fails for 2.1.2
Your replies/inputs/feedbacks are greatly appreciated.
