My guess is that that your resolver specifies that ivy files look like [module]-[revision].pom and the publish task honors that same convention. Is that really what you want to be doing anyway? You want pom files to be treated as if they were ivy files? Why not treat the pom files in an artifact pattern instead of an ivy pattern? I am doing a similar thing, using Ivy as a dependency manager and generating pomfiles for compliance with a Maven-style repository. I declare the pom as a published artifact in ivy.xml and it works fine.
