As usual I discovered my error long after posting wrong information.

There indeed is such a parameter now, since Java 5, as indicated in the OP's link in 
another thread. In detail:
<http://jdk6.java.net/plugin2/version-selection/#BEHAVIOR>

Nutshell: the JRE will be the latest version available if you specify "family +" 
and you don't have that family (plus) installed.

"When considering a request to launch an applet on a particular family 
or any later family, the latest available JRE will be used to launch the applet."

So the OP is complaining about the intended behavior.
