Which is really odd, since

It doesn't really matter what you have under /usr/java, only what is listed first in $PATH. On Debian for example, the
default java is under /usr/bin and that is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/java, which in turn is a symlink to what the
system or user chose as the default (can be changed using the update-alternatives tool).
But the question remains, why does Firefox work and Seamonkey does not.
I could imagine that the JRE developers added a check specifically for Firefox. It wouldn't be the first time that
something like this happened.
FWIW, I see the same issue on Debian and didn't yet find a way to fix it
either. :-(

Jens, while you're on the subject of Java... is there any way a [Win7] SM user to whom all of this is "greek", get Java
to work on SM 2.8 or any subsequent version? :)
