[MANTRUN-172] Properties passed to Maven as -D don't get passed to <ant> invocations when a profile sets the same property

Description

When I invoke Maven as follows:
mvn package -Dmy.test.property="from commandline" -Ptest-profile
Setting my.test.property on the command line, I expect to see the following output from the testcase:

[echo] pom.xml: ptest = from commandline
[echo] pom.xml: my.test.property = from commandline
[echo] build.xml: ptest = from commandline
[echo] build.xml: my.test.property = from commandline

But instead I see:

[echo] pom.xml: ptest = from commandline
[echo] pom.xml: my.test.property = from commandline
[echo] build.xml: ptest = from commandline
[echo] build.xml: my.test.property = from profile

It looks like the <ant> task is causing properties set on the command line to not be inherited.

When run without -Ptest-profile, the expected output is seen. The comments on MANTRUN-121 would seem to imply that properties set on the commandline should always be passed to sub <ant> builds, regardless of the value of the inheritAll property.

I've tested with a profile in the pom as well as in settings.xml, and the same behavior is observed regardless of where the profile is, so long as it is activated.
