Solved the problem. It turned out I had flexTasks.jar from an earlier Flex SDK in my Ant "lib" directory.
Copied the new flexTasks.jar from Apache SDK 4.9.1 to the Ant and the build went without any problems. Apparently the mxmlc task from the old flexTasks.jar had problem accepting the target-player parameter. Perhaps it is worth adding a note about Ant configuration in the SDK README file. Currently it only says you need Ant 1.7.1 or greater but provides no configuration instructions.
