Yes, that is intended behavior.
Think of a task, such as <include>, as a subroutine call. The compiler
(or, in this case, the XML interpreter) evaluates ALL arguments to the
call, then passes the values to the subroutine. It is the internal
execution of the subroutine that knows what if=false means, so it
doesn't include the file.
If you want to conditionalize the include based on the existence of the
file to be included, then you are going to have to wrap and
unconditional <include> inside an <if> statement.

Subject: [NAnt-users] bug in fileset ?
Hi,
The following script doesn't work if the property test.file is not set.
Is it the intended behavior?
<delete>
<fileset>
<include if="${property::exists('test.file')}"
name="${test.file}"/>
</fileset>
</delete>
