I believe this is an XML thing.  You might find an XML
parser that would preserve a hard tab character in a
buildfile, but as I understand it the tab character is
not defined in XML so the behavior of (e.g. Xerces) is
to interpret it as a space.  That what appears to be
happening when I run:

<project>
  <echo message="foo    bar" />
  <!-- that was a tab between foo and bar
       but my HTML form-based e-mail won't let
       me do it ;) -->
</project>

Can you just use several spaces?  You could even do:

<property name="tab" value="    " />
and use ${tab} wherever you want...
