We use DirectSolrConnection via JNI in a couple of client apps

was a solr issue or a JNI one.
That doesn't sound promising. I'll throw in synchronization around
the update code and see what happens. That's doesn't seem good for
performance though. Can Solr as a web app handle multiple updates
at once or does it synchronize to avoid it?
Solr can handle multiple simultaneous updates. The entire request
processing is concurrent, as is the document analysis. Only the
final write is synchronized (this includes lucene segment merging).
Yes, i do want to disclaim that it's very likely my thread problems
are an implementation detail w/ JNI, nothing to do w/ DSC.
