Hi Paul,
I've diffed the 2.6.x and 2.8.x web.xml files and found the following:

I believe theactual issue was caused the change of the
SetCharacterEncodingFilter package, as there
is nothing left in GeoServer using the versioning variable.

I believe you should have found one error about that, but not in the
GeoServer logs, more likely in the
container ones instead (e.g., Tomcat catalina.out or something like that).

Cheers
Andrea
