In your test you try to validate that it worked via antcall which creates a new Project instance and re-parses the build file for that new instance - your macro has never been executed for this instance and so the tasks have never been added there. If you try <target name="test" depends="init, pre-test"/> you should see you extra-pre-test. Alternatively make pre-test and post-test depend on init so the tasks get added in their Project instance even in the presence of antcall.
