Looks like the issues are self inflicted. I have custom start/stop scripts that actually specify the solr home directory as a param to the start command (start -c -s ...). This was overriding my include variable. As for the magical solr.xml file, that's also my doing because as part of shutdown the script copies config files where they need to go.
When I wrote all this 2 years ago I needed the flexibility to run multiple nodes on a single host (because requisitioning a server took an act of congress).
