This is easy to explain and it is is the manal ;-)
Using the <ant dir="x"/> will set the basedir as a user-like property, which means that
it cannot be overwitten subsequently - i.e. it gets "frozen".
You need to use : <ant antfile="x/build.xml" inheritall="no"/> which will set basedir property
as a non-user-like property.
In that case I have been using <ant> wrongly, forever.
I always use the "dir" setting as it 100% guarantees that the dir is set up to that of the dest, which is how I usually work. And when you call <ant> in a sub project, using dir, it again sets up the basedir to be that of the destination.
We do not get that same chaining semantics with ant -> subant.
