You are exactly right, but I am surprised that changing JAVA_ENDORSED_DIRS in your startup script did not do the trick. It is for all I can see the way _they_ are overriding the JDK's default. Can you confirm that your change is actually used? If modifying the value the start script is using for endorsed is really not working, I'd think you'll need to take it up on the tomcat dev list, or possibly with your provider.
I have heard recent reports (on cocoon dev I think?) that the very latest versions of Tomcat do not have this problem and no need to override the endorsed dir exists. Can't confirm this though. Incidentally, this issue is what prompted me to pay extra for a "virtual root" account for my own project instead of trying a standard Java host.
