I think your real question might be, who is putting this stuff in my 
WEB-INF/classes dir?

It is the resources plugin, as commanded by the war-plugin.

therefore, you would add a <build><resources> element to prevent this.

Below is a trivial example.

/r

========================================== src
src/main/resources/META-INF/foo.xml

========================================== target
target/foo-1.0.war
target/foo/META-INF/foo.xml
target/war/work/webapp-cache.xml

========================================== war contents
META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
WEB-INF/
META-INF/foo.xml

========================================== pom.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project>
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>com.foo</groupId>
    <artifactId>foo</artifactId>
    <packaging>war</packaging>
    <version>1.0</version>
    <build>
        <resources>
            <resource>
                <directory>${project.build.sourceDirectory}</directory>
                <includes>
                    <include/>
                </includes>
            </resource>
        </resources>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>2.1-beta-1</version>
                <configuration>
                    <failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>
                    <webappDirectory>target/${webapp.name}</webappDirectory>
                    <packagingExcludes>WEB-INF/classes/**</packagingExcludes>
                    <webResources>
                        <resource>
                            <directory>src/main/resources/META-INF/</directory>
                            <targetPath>META-INF</targetPath>
                        </resource>
                    </webResources>
                    <archive>
                        <addMavenDescriptor>false</addMavenDescriptor>
                    </archive>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
    <properties>
        <webapp.name>foo</webapp.name>
    </properties>
</project>
