This happens when an id is defined in a target that is not run,
for example:
<project default="abc">
<target name="abc">
<... use id x here >
</target>
<target name="not_run">
<fileset id="x" ...>
</target>
</project>
The warning in 1.7.x was that x was not defined, so ant would read the
full build file and find a random x id and use that one. This causes a
lot of problems ... and the ant code to do this was difficult to maintain.
So on ant 1.7 the big dirty warning message was placed in - and many
years later (the "future" in the warning message), the hacking code
in ant has been removed.
