Simon, I wasn't minding this list last week while I was traveling, else I would have steered you toward: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/FCREPO-808. So while this is addressed for the upcoming 3.5.0 release, for 3.4.2, as you noted you'll need to have the environment variable set.
I actually just patched the jar that contains the offending class in the copy of Fedora 3.4.2 that's included w/ hydra-jetty, because it would be entirely too obnoxious to do development on multiple Hydra heads if we had to keep track of multiple FEDORA_HOME environment variables. You could do the same if you really want to avoid setting the environment variable.
