Serious anti-social behavior.

If you can't isolate this webapp into a separate Tomcat instance, you might try 
configuring a SecurityManager to prevent updating of system properties by this 
lump of code.  Of course, that might just make the webapp blow up with an 
exception.

Definitely complain to the vendor, withholding payment, if possible.
