Well, much of Ant "seems a bit cumbersome in terms of additional tags" :)
But, really, in this case, it's not as bad as you think it might be -- eg:
<target name="copy">
<property name="src.dir" location="some/source/dir/foo"/>
<property name="files.list" value="README,LICENSE,GPL,INSTALL,COPYING"/>
<foreach list="${files.list}" param="file" target="chkFile"/>
<fileset dir="${src.dir}" id="fs1">
<patternset id="ps1">
<include name="**/*.class"/>
</patternset>
</fileset>
<pathconvert pathsep="" refid="fs1" property="fs1"/>
<fail unless="fs1">
Error: No class files found! Exiting...
</fail>
<copy todir="some/target/dir">
<fileset dir="${src.dir}" includes="${files.list}">
<patternset refid="ps1"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
</target>
<target name="chkFile">
<available file="${src.dir}/${file}" type="file" property="found"/>
<fail unless="found">
Error: File ${file} not found! Exiting...
</fail>
</target>

It looks like you could just add an "else" to the "if" that starts out
doFileOperations() -- but that'd only give you an opportunity to say that
"some" file(s) was/were missing; whereas, the specific checks in my
approach will let you say exactly what's missing. To get Copy to check and
error out for specific files would take a lot more digging into the source
-- so if you want to go that way, good luck :) (Note: I suspect your added
functionality could well clash with the includeEmptyDirs attribute, though
-- but that's just a guess.)
