Also just to clarify I know that the Lattice Modifier  supports 
supplying a vertex group on an Object which can be weight painted.

I am talking about the Vertex Group that is on the Lattice itself (when 
the lattice is selected it is displayed in the Properties Editor > 
Object Data Context > Lattice Panel > Vertex Group).
