It works! The final solution was to remove EVERY jar file from ~/Library/Java/Extensions, and voila, all is good. A next step might be to add the jars back one-by-one to find the culprit, but I will save that for another day... There was nothing suspicious looking there, but obviously, there was a conflict in at least one of the libraries.
