Here is a workaround for your situation:
<property name="build.prop.1" value="d:/temp/app1/build.properties"/>
<property name="build.prop.2" value="d:/temp/app2/build.properties"/>
<replace file="${build.prop.1}" value="buildNumber.1">
<replacefilter token="buildNumber"/>
</replace>
<property file="${build.prop.1}"/>
<property file="${build.prop.2}"/>
<condition property="it_is_the_same_build">
<equals arg1="${buildNumber.1}" arg2="${buildNumber}"/>
</condition>
<replace file="${build.prop.1}" value="buildNumber">
<replacefilter token="buildNumber.1"/>
</replace>
