Nico, Diane Holt pointed out to me via e-mail that my example works with more recent versions of ant than I have (-version wouldn't be useful because I recompiled this version today, but it represents the tree at an earlier stage). I tested my example with that version and see that everything works the way I would hope.
Unfortunately I can't just move over to the new version right now, but at least I know it will work when I do.
