This behaviour has indeed recently changed.  It did not make any sense to
force third party tasks developers to use a *Tasks suffix for their
assemblies. Sorry if this caused problems for you.

The <loadtasks> will also probably be renamed to <load-extensions> soon (if
you can come up with something better, please let me know), and will no
longer support the 'path' attribute.
