I believe that the ant solution to this was to include a task to create a .cvspass file in the cvs suite of tasks. Further ant does not give a cvs task other then CVSPAss a username / password option. All of the other cvs tasks then take a .cvspass file as a parameter.
While I understand that ant behavior isn't authoritative here it does strike me that they hit this same problem and chose this solution path for a reason. That reason might be worth investigating. Certainly the .cvspass file taking precedence is unexpected and should be dealt with. For my solutions I ended up creating a .cvspass file on the command line and using it exclusively to executes logins to cvs (not wishing to give my automated build user interactive login privileges to my cvs server so I could go after it using sspi).

Would you be able to submit a bug report to make sure this does not get missed?

That sound like the .cvspass file in the filesystem takes precedence over the password attribute of the <cvs-whatever> NAnt task. Is that true? If so, then to me it is non-intuitive since the most recent/most volitile specification of something is usually what takes precedence.
