>From the manual entry for the dir atribute:

The directory to delete, including all its files and subdirectories.
Note: dir is not used to specify a directory name for file; file and dir are
independent of each other.
WARNING: Do not set dir to ".", "${basedir}", or the full-pathname equivalent
unless you truly intend to recursively remove the entire contents of the current
base directory (and the base directory itself, if different from the current
working directory).

Granted, it doesn't say that dir is independant of the filesets, but since
filesets have their own dir atribute it isn't that supprising. I'd say perhaps
clarify in the manual at most. But I think the current entry is fairly clear, so
maybe not even that.
