I did a bit of investigation in this one.:
1) It seems to me this isn't a bug.
2) It seems to me you are mixing up two different deployment methods.
But let me explain it:
>From my point of view there is
a) a local deployment functionality and
b) a remote deployment functionality
In a) you can deploy a war file or a webapp directory to a local installed
tomcat with or without a context fragment. Note: You have here a hard
precondition: All files are local to the tomcat you want to deploy to.
In this case your ant target should look like this:
<target name="install" description="Install application in Tomcat">
<available property="present" file="build/pr.xml" />
<echo>present:${present}</echo>
<deploy url="${tomcat.manager.url}"
username="${tomcat.username}"
password="${tomcat.password}"
path="/${webapp.name}"
localWar="../${dist.dir}/lib/${app.name}.war"
config="build/pr.xml"/>
</target>
In b) you can only deploy a war file via HTTP PUT to your remote tomcat
installation via the manager servlet. In this case you have to put your context
fragment (pr.xml in your case) in META-INF/context.xml in your *.war file. You
have to do this because it is not possible to upload a config file (context
fragment aka context.xml) to a remote server via the manager webapp which gets
used by the deploy task.
In this case your ant target should look like this:
<target name="install" description="Install application in Tomcat">
<available property="present" file="build/pr.xml" />
<echo>present:${present}</echo>
<deploy url="${tomcat.manager.url}"
username="${tomcat.username}"
password="${tomcat.password}"
path="/${webapp.name}"
war="../${dist.dir}/lib/${app.name}.war"/>
</target>
Note: In b) Your context fragment from build/pr.xml has to be in
${app.name}.war!/META-INF/context.xml. While the deployment it gets copied to
$CATALINA_BASE/conf/[engine]/[host]/[context].xml. In your case this would be
$CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost/pr.xml.
For more information you can consult the following two links:
<http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/manager-howto.html#Supported Manager
Commands>
<http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/manager-howto.html#Deploy A New
Application Remotely>

Application from a Local Path>

If you lock in the execute methode of the AntDeploy Task your observations
become really obvious:
// line 182
if ((war == null) && (config != null)) {
sb.append("&config=");
sb.append(URLEncoder.encode(config, getCharset()));
}
if ((war == null) && (localWar != null)) {
sb.append("&war=");
sb.append(URLEncoder.encode(localWar, getCharset()));
}
// to 189
