I've also noticed a problem with inheritance between parent and sub projects when dealing with properties also specified in the driver.properties. See MAVEN-294 for more info. This may be related to your problem...however, I haven't heard anything back from this bug. As far as I can tell, no one has even LOOKED at it. I have patches to add a test to touchstone, along with patches to fix the problem. Please have a look, and let's get this problem fixed. It is starting to seriously affect my ability to keep pace with maven's HEAD.
