I think the short answer to this question is that the remainder of the path is 'hard coded' in the SMPE application, analogous to a traditional MVS application that allows you to provide data set name high level qualifier(s) that fit your environment while expecting a predefined set of low level qualifiers.
A more cogent point is that after installing IO01770/UO00254 you may need to add another statement to your CLIENT section to specify where Java lives: <CLIENT classpath="/usr/lpp/smp/classes" javahome="/usr/lpp/java/J1.4"> </CLIENT> After I installed this fix, the job failed with a message that Java could not be found. My Java had not moved, but the /etc Java home definition was no longer honored. . .

I am trying to understand how one piece of this works and have not been able to find any documentation to explain it. Basically we have CLASSPATH set to /usr/lpp/smp/classes as the documentation states. The actual class files being looked for by the job are in /usr/lpp/smp/classes/com/ibm/smp. What I don't understand is how SMP knows to look beyond /usr/lpp/smp/classes for the class files. What is telling SMPE to append com.ibm.smp.GIMJVCLT to the classpath variable, in the example below? I know what was causing this error, it was while investigating this error that I realized I didn't understand how it was finding the GIMJVCLT file, which is what I am trying to understand.
