One can tell Tomcat to not touch the tomcat-users.xml by setting
the "readonly"-attribute of the UserDatabase Resource to "true", i. e. like
that:
<Resource name="UserDatabase" auth="Container"
type="org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase"
description="User database that can be updated and saved"
factory="org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory"
pathname="conf/tomcat-users.xml"
readonly="true"/>
