I think it is this code in BaseResourceCollectionContainer that is
causing the problem for you
public final synchronized Iterator iterator() {
if (isReference()) {
return ((BaseResourceCollectionContainer)
getCheckedRef()).iterator();
}
Since you spath is a reference (the refid syntax) the iterator() method
just delegates to the "real" instance. Since that method is final (at
least in 1.8.0) you can't even override it.

You don't really want to use refid because this is meant to say a given
type is just a placeholder for something defined anywhere else. In your
case you just need to use a different name for the attribute (say
reference instead of refid) and just use Ant's reference system for all
the rest - don't make your baseclass think the instance was just a
placeholder.
