I'm having this issue, too. Since we already set a JENKINS_HOME, shouldn't that be used, instead of whatever user.home is set to? For me, Jenkins is running under Tomcat from Ubuntu's apt repository, so it is running as the tomcat7 user which has a home of /usr/share/tomcat7, which isn't writable by the tomcat7 user. Looking at JIRA and googling around, it doesn't appear that anyone else thinks this is a problem, so maybe I am not understanding something.
I realize that ~/.m2 is the standard, but I can't think of any reason why this standard should be adhered to so strictly that no customization is allowed, even for non-recommended cases.
