You could (as a workaround, until you can find out why your version is
broken), just do the command-line defines as separate properties, then
combine them in your build-file -- eg:
$ ant -Dm=August -Dd=24 -Dy=2001
and in your build-file you'd have:
<property name="last_date" value="${m} ${d}, ${y}"/>
