Ah. That makes sense. I'll look to see what <loadproperties> does in that regard. I don't remember if it was a result of a test or just a dumb assumption on my part, but at one point a I wrote a filter that handled the property substitution specifically for loading property files. Simply using the ExpandProperties filter would not give you this behavior has it is generic and not meant to property file assignments.

I don't use <loadproperties> in any of my production builds, but certainly its behavior is not necessarily the same as <property file> although it should be to stay consistent.
