I do not expect that exec task will pass any properties to my program. But I do expect that it will not make any modifications to text I passed using <buildArgs>.
What have I? Something happens with first "%" symbol. TFSbuild and MSbuild parameters differs. TFSbuild uses MSbuild for build purposes. And I can path paramaters trough TFSbuild to MSbuild directly. By the way, build proccess may be on any computer, where I installed BuildAgent.
