Yes, it is. Under the covers, the contents of JARs are mapped to /WEB-INF/classes much like you have done in your work-around. The difference is that the set of resources they are added to is higher in the search priority than the PostResources. I'm not sure if there is an easy way to fix this. I need to look at the code some more. If there isn't an easy fix, your work-around is the way to go.
