I thought Tomcat 4.0 allowed for some filtering that could avoid this and send a request straight to an Action.

The welcome file list in the web.xml file defines the default file(s) for all directories, including the root and all subdirectories. It does not specify the URL of a default page for the web application. If you request http://myserver/myapp/, the application looks for http://myserver/myapp/index.jsp. If you request http://myserver/myapp/mydirectory/, the application looks for http://myserver/myapp/mydirectory/index.jsp. The only work-around for your situation is to perform a forward from /index.jsp to /WEB-INF/JSP/index.jsp. I hope this helps.
