Any specific reason you're not just doing this with the dependency
plugin?

Yes, several. There are a great many things that Maven can't handle that
Ant does very nicely. It's all part of a larger build process for
creating the final release that involves several steps that are beyond
the capabilities of the assembly plugin. So yes, there is a use case for
getting filesets of dependencies in Ant.
I don't mean to dis Maven -- it's a great tool -- but it has limitations.
For the curious, I figured it out. Pass in the classpath, instead of a
fileset. The <copy> task in Ant 1.7 will accept a path as well as a fileset.
<copy flatten="true" toDir="${release_dir}/lib" verbose="true" >
<path>
<pathelement path="${compile_classpath}"/>
</path>
</copy>
