It would break builds of people who use an indirection in the
if/unless tags. Say ${bar} resolves to "baz" and people really want
to test whether property baz exists. With your proposed change they'd
suddenly always get false. I don't think this is a common use case,
but something to keep in mind.
Also note that we are currently not expanding the values of <target>'s
attributes at all IIRC.
