The shell script Steven forwarded solved the problem. I think I was  
trying to intervene in too many places. Ultimately, when maven is  
ready to fire up the compiler, it doesn't care what's in your  
console's JAVA_HOME variable or where the sym links in /usr/bin/java  
and /usr/bin/javac are pointing.

To summarize: there is a symbolic link /System/Library/Frameworks/ 
JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK that points to the directory of  
the version of the JDK for OS X to use. When I change this from 1.5.0  
to 1.4.2, my problems are gone.

I apologize for this decidedly system-specific tangent.
