After some reflection I went for a slightly different approach. The build script now gets the latest 5.3.0 SNAPSHOT from the bnd snapshot repo and I will take an archive copy of the version I use for release builds (likely only the one version). That should minimise the issues for other builds but in the unlikely event of someone needing to re-run a build with the exact bnd version we used for a release rather than building from source (which would be possible) we have a copy. Given the nature of the work-around and the way we use bnd I'd be very surprised if any of the snapshots between now and the 5.3.0 release (or the 5.3.0 release itself) exhibited any observable change in behaviour in our build system.
