unfortunately your expectation collides with backwards compatibility.

For historical reasons the last <property> nested into <ant> wins if multiple
properties use the same name.  see the last hunk in
http://svn.eu.apache.org/viewvc/ant/core/trunk/src/main/org/apache/tools/ant/taskdefs/Ant.java?r1=275211&r2=275212
where Peter explicitly mentions backwards compatibility (more details probably
are in the mailing list).

<subant> inherits this behavior which should be documented.
