I was not speculating; I operate four production DSpace instances this
way.  But why would I be running Maven under a production account?

Perhaps.  On Gentoo Linux it doesn't break.  My production Tomcat
accounts have their homes in /home/tomcat.  I do believe that I moved
them there.  If Tomcat is properly set up, it shouldn't know or care
about the location of the home directory for the account that happens
to be running it.  I just looked at one, and the only thing in that
directory that I didn't put there is the '.handle' directory, which
isn't part of Tomcat.

I just log onto the box with my personal account, check out the local
version of DSpace that I want to install, package it, 'su' to tomcat,
and run ant over the packaging.  Some years ago we had accounts named
'dspace', but no longer.
