Okay, mod_perl 1.99_16 reloading works.  So the reloading problem starts 
with the 1.99_17 version as you suspected.  Here is a snippet from my 
error_log showing the reloading messages that appear when the Reloading 
Debugger is turned on for version 1.99_19:

This is the error_log entry for the module whose changes are not showing up

Apache::Reload: process 22533 reloading Apache::Menus from Apache/Menus.pm
        Apache::Reload::handler('Apache::RequestRec=SCALAR(0xc331c20)') 
called at /opt/prod/apache/Apache/Menus.pm line 0
        eval {...} called at /opt/prod/apache/Apache/Menus.pm line 0

And the following is the error_log entry for a module changed at the same 
time whose changes do show up

Apache::Reload: process 22533 reloading Apache::Abracadabra from 
Apache/Abracadabra.pm
        Apache::Reload::handler('Apache::RequestRec=SCALAR(0xc331c20)') 
called at /opt/prod/apache/Apache/Abracadabra.pm line 0
        eval {...} called at /opt/prod/apache/Apache/Abracadabra.pm line 0
