I've just found a partial answer to this problem: indeed, the project.skins-dir is being ignored.

Forrest now demands that I use forrest.skins-dir instead. (I found this as a comment in $FORREST_HOME/main/forrest.build.xml.)

I have no idea what gives you this impression that is the location for Forrest skins, not project skins.

Project skins go in project.skins-dir as they always did.

As for plugins, I need to use forrest.plugins-dir, another unexpected twist. When I use:

forrest.plugins-dir=/home/moshe/something/or/other

in a freshly-seeded system, forrest correctly populates the directory with the needed plugins.

Unfortunately, it eventually crashes with a commplaint about jar files, for unknown reasons.

Without knowing what the error is we can't help.
