I afraid that working as specified ...

When properties exist during project load - it will be resolved - as you can see by executing: mvn help:effective-pom
properties-maven-plugin try to change properties in project after project is loaded ....
When properties doesn't exist during project load it will be unresolved and pass to ant task as string ...

There is a proposition to add similar feature to Maven - which can be done before project load
