Got it working by tweaking the spring configuration:

<bean id="processEngineConfiguration" class="org.activiti.spring.SpringProcessEngineConfiguration">
…
        <property name="activityBehaviorFactory" ref="myActivityBehaviorFactory"/>
…
    </bean>

    <bean id="myActivityBehaviorFactory"
          class="de.my.controller.custombehavior.impl.MyActivityBehaviorFactory">
        <property name="expressionManager" ref="expressionManager"/>
    </bean>

    <bean id="expressionManager" class="org.activiti.engine.impl.el.ExpressionManager"/>

In MyActivityBehaviorFactory I overrode the call to:

    @Override
    public ExclusiveGatewayActivityBehavior createExclusiveGatewayActivityBehavior(ExclusiveGateway exclusiveGateway) {
        return new MyExclusiveGatewayActivityBehavior();
    }

Thanks for sharing your solution. This is the way it's intended to be used, using the ActivityBehaviourFactory.
