It seems that the task must be executed before. If you add a >depends="sub"< on the main target, that works.
So the question is: when are id's stored? The parsing is done via ProjectHelper's and their SAX-Parser-Handlers. On the first view I would say, that the id is stored while parsing - so before exucution.
