I'd forgotten all about this. I PM'd Mark with the following message, but got
no reply:
  I posted a comment on Bugzilla as I believe there is a bug - my
  experience is that Tomcat is not  behaving as described in the
  documentation that I referenced. If you know of further documentation
  that explains alternative behaviour, then a link would be appreciated
  as part of marking the bug as resolved.
Given the curt response to my comment and the absence of any clarifying reply
and/or documentation, I suspect you're right, Antonio - no one is able to or
willing to fix the problem.
