I should have picked this up earlier

You do have the option of placating your web designer - you just need to
delete the vm templates and implement them in jsp - The IdP will look for
the Velocity and then fall back to the jsp.  

Of course the work then falls on to your shoulders (rather than the
designer's shoulders) since you need to rebuild the jsp fo every web change.
But the edit-webapp paradigm does means that a lot will happen
automatically.

I'd need to check, but I suspect that the installer would respond to not
seeing the *.vm files by repopulating them on every upgrade, so you'd need
to watch that.
