I think I misunderstood this particular bug. It appears to be a problem
with $${someprop} versus loading two property files and the first one
containing a ${property} that is set in the second one loaded.
To be explicit, if you have two property files, a.properties and
b.properties, in the first one loaded you have a ${property} that is set
in b.properties, ant leaves it as ${}.
a.properties:
foo=bar
coolprop=${foo}:${from.b.properties}
b.properties:
from.b.properties=awesome
build.xml:
<project default="go">
<target name="go" >
<property file="a.properties" />
<property file="b.properties" />
<echo>This is a problem: ${coolprop}</echo>
</target>
</project>
You'll see this:
This is a problem: bar:${from.b.properties}

Could you please provide a simple test that fails for you?
