Sakai currently uses JSF 1.1.01 this is a very old version (c. 2004) the latest compatible release of jsf is 1.1_02 (c 2006) there are more recent release (current 2.0) however these are not compatible with Sakai at this point.
As per discussion created a new branch 2.9-jsf111-SNAPSHOT that will be remained bound to jsf-1.1_01 for tools that have issues with 1.1_02. This branch is considered deprecated and it is not intended to be released to Sakai 2.10.

I've reverted to jsf 1.1_01 till we can resolve these issues

I suspect this upgrade has killed postem. On nightly hsqldb, the tool won't load at all. On nightly oracle (and my local mysql instance), the tool loads but the links are unresponsive. Reverting the upgrade fixed the issues on my local instance.
