Since those containers all support 3.0 for compatibility, seems like
something's got to be off somewhere, but it's not that important right now.

For future reference, they made a strange decision in Servlet 3.1 to
define ** as the syntax for "don't check roles" (despite every container
already doing that with *), and then Jetty yanked the Strict property from
< 9.2 that made * work. So there's no way to define the same web.xml in
both Jetty versions that supports both unfortunately, which was a mistake
I think on Jetty's part.
