I knew I had to have missed something. The documentation section that
covers classloading isn't very clear and as far as I can see makes no
mention of the privileged setting, and the section under Context
configuration that describes the privileged setting is misleading (from
your description I'd guess it wasn't updated properly from 5.5). Your
answer makes things plainer. Thanks!

No, that's not how it works. The WebappClassLoader chooses which parent in
the classloader hierarchy to delegate to, based on the privileged setting.
By default, the WebappClassLoader skips over the common class loader, going
right to the system classloader. Only privileged webapps get to use the
common class loader.
