I had the brilliant idea of trying to name my war as demo#application.war, but the auto-deployer rejected it upon startup. It did extract the META-INF/context.xml to conf/Catalina/[hostname]/demo#application.xml properly, but couldn't unpack the war the demo/application directory. (Currently have unpackWARs=true in my Host tag). Still open to ideas / suggestions if anyone has any.
