As best as I can see it, I am only defining it once.
This is the situation:
There are 2 files: Main.xml and tools.xml.
In Main.xml (directly inside the project element) I have:
<import file="tools.xml"/>
Inside targets in Main.xml I use the copy.compile.post macro.
In tools.xml (also directly inside the project element) I have:
<macrodef name="copy.compile.post">
.
.
.
</macrodef>
...along with a dozen other macros.
copy.compile.post is the only macro that Ant complains about, and it only
complains some of the time (I haven't been able to see a pattern about when
it complains).

Looks like you are redefining a macrodef.
For exmple:
<target name="compile" depends="copy">
<macrodef name="doit" .../>
<doit/>
</target>
<target name="copy">
<macrodef name="doit" .../>
<doit/>
</target>
Would cause the macro "doit" to be defined twice.
Normally, one would place macrodefs outside of targets
and give them different names.
<macrodef name="copy_it".../>
<macrodef name="compile_it" ../>
<target name="compile" depends="copy">
<compile_it/>
</target>
<target name="copy">
<copy_it/>
</target>
