Thanks, Wayne. I tried upgrading to 2.1-alpha-2, per your suggestion.
Unfortunately, no change.

Going with configuration
[1] still isn't working.
[2] still throws a NullPointerException. The stack trace for which
I've posted here: http://pastie.org/private/l8nmhtepm74dm7idpuszlg

In addition, with 2.1-alpha-2, I am getting the following warning:
[WARNING] DEPRECATED [dependentWarExcludes]: use the excludes in the
overlay object instead
