The search pattern for the merge file looks for the exact name of the task. All the task names are all capitalized, but the names of the merge files were in lowercase. Mac OS X's file system isn't case-sensitive so like Windows the files would be found. I changed the case on Linux and now all is well.
Nice find! I've corrected them.... having to rename the condition.xml altogether. Perhaps a more custom merge filename needs to be used besides the task class name - food for thought.
Tomorrow the Gump run should have <tar>, <javac>, <javadoc>, and <condition> documented with examples.
