The source property is a property of the compileGroovy task. Each task which
takes source files as input has one. In the case of the compileGroovy task, it
contains only the source files for the compileGroovy task.

That's how the <groovyc> ant task works. Gradle's compileGroovy task uses a
much more sophisticated up-to-date check than <groovyc> does. It will deal with
this case fine.
However, it is a problem. Perhaps this would be a good check to add to
CodeNarc? (see http://codenarc.sourceforge.net/)
