Sorry, I should have been clearer. The default macro implementation of
apr_atomic_casptr (used on everything but Windows and Netware, it seems)
is implemented in terms of apr_atomic_cas, which _does_ take an
apr_uint32_t *:

#define apr_atomic_casptr(mem, with, cmp) \
    (void *)apr_atomic_cas((apr_uint32_t *)(mem), (long)(with), (long)cmp)

So it might be correct, but I guess it's still a type-punned pointer.
