You can use <propertyfile> (see optional tasks in the documentation) to edit
property files.
Filterset will work fine if you delimit things appropriately. Can you show
us an example of it not working properly?

p.s. There is a darn slick task in the latest release version of XDoclet
that sort of works like filtered copies, except that it uses different
syntax for the "tokens" and automatically uses all of Ant's properties as
available substitutions.
