I also stuck a similar named trivial static context into /var/lib/tomcat7/webapps (with a different directory name: "foobar" in Tomcat 8, "bozbar" in Tomcat 7). In theory, Tomcat 8.5 should be able to see the foobar context, but not the bozbar context; this is also true in practice. So it's

I've got two separate boxes, both running Debian Jessie, with both Tomcat 7.0.56 and Tomcat 8.5.14 installed, all of the installations via an apt-get from Debian's repositories. On one of the boxes (Tomcat 8.5 installed alongside Tomcat 7 with no previous Tomcat 8), Tomat 8 is somehow pulling
