I'm a bit surprised by the result, but I don't know the var and propertycopy
task well enough, and it may be related to what they do. Did you try to
simulate the Ivy triggers in a pure Ant script (without Ivy) to see what
happens:
<target name="test">
  <antcall target="foo">
    <param name="dep.module" value="module1"/>
  </antcall>
  <antcall target="foo">
    <param name="dep.module" value="module2"/>
  </antcall>
</target>

If this works, then it's Ivy that doesn't do what expected. If it doesn't,
then Ivy has nothing to do with your problem, and you should look for
another solution, like using a script or a custom Ant task (in Java) and a
true variable (which would BTW make things much more readable IMHO).
