Silly as it seems, you can work around the problem by defining the Mapper before the Job. The following compiles:

import org.apache.hadoop._
import org.apache.hadoop.io._
import org.apache.hadoop.conf._

class MyMapper extends Mapper[LongWritable,Text,Text,Text] {
  override def map(key: LongWritable, value: Text, context: Mapper[LongWritable,Text,Text,Text]#Context) {
  }
}

object MyJob {
  def main(args:Array[String]) {
    val job = new Job(new Configuration())
    job.setMapperClass(classOf[MyMapper])
  }
}
