Thanks for the info. Note that the documentation for the file mappers states
that "to" and "from" can "contain at most one '*'", which implies to me that
they can legitimately have zero stars. In this particular case the fileset
defined selects just one file, ant.jar, which is what I want to copy to a
different directory. The problem is that I don't know (in the Ant script) the
exact path to the ant.jar so I'm using "**/ant.jar":
<copy todir="${dest}">
<fileset dir="${source}" includes="**/ant.jar"/>
<mapper type="glob" from="*/ant.jar" to="internal/ant.jar"/>
</copy>
What I want to do is copy the one and only "${source}/.../ant.jar" to
"${dest}/internal/ant.jar". Because the Ant script is itself generated
(generically) such that the copy "todir" attribute is fixed as "${dest}" I
can't simply set that to "${dest}/internal" and use a flatten mapper which is
what I'd otherwise do.
If you can think of a way of doing this processing with just changing the body
content of the copy element and not the copy element itself I'd love to know
the solution! Perhaps the regexp mapper would do this?

It's wrong in the sense that the glob mapper should most likely throw an
error when the "*" is missing in the 'to' attribute.
You can't use the glob mapper to concatenate files like this, and even
if it worked, plain concatenation wouldn't work with .jar files.
Use <concat> for plain concatenation.
Use <jar> or <zip> with <zipfileset> for concatenation of JAR/ZIP files.
