I have found a solution.
1) Starting with a fresh extraction of the Karaf distribution
2) Remove the included pax-web 8.0.15 repo
3) Update the pax-web version in standard-4.4.3-features.xml
4) Start Karaf.

* Example

sparrow:Downloads paul$ tar -xf apache-karaf-4.4.3.tar.gz
sparrow:Downloads paul$ cd apache-karaf-4.4.3
sparrow:apache-karaf-4.4.3 paul$ rm -R system/org/ops4j/pax/web
sparrow:apache-karaf-4.4.3 paul$ vim
system/org/apache/karaf/features/standard/4.4.3/standard-4.4.3-features.xml
sparrow:apache-karaf-4.4.3 paul$ bin/karaf
