I tried the suggestion below for invoking Maven and it worked. I also defined the maven.repo.local property in the ant script for our mixed build, hoping antlib would pick up on it and use the same local repository for the Maven ant tasks. No such luck.
It seems there is no way to pass the location of the local repository to antlib except through ~/.m2/settings.xml or ~/.m2/ant/settings.xml. Thus there is no way to have multiple repositories per user simultaneously. I will file a JIRA request for an enhancement. Meantime, our mixed builds are not scalable at all. We can do only one build per user per machine at a time. I hope the enhancement will come through fairly quickly.
