This is a limitation of Java rather than Ant. See this article for a bit more information: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/318239/how-do-i-set-environment-variables-from-java
I'd recommend that you keep a list of environment variables you care about as properties. When you call <exec /> it has a parameter called <env /> which you can set environment variables for executed stuff.
