When is this an advantage?

There is an open bug report against 1.8.1 that wants the old behavior
back <https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49373>.

Indeed, the 1.8.1 behavior looks like a bug to me.

   (3) allow different behavior of the tasks and document it.

Probably recommend this. Don't know much about <loadproperties> but breaking the 
established behavior of the widely used <property> task seems a bad idea.
