Hi Sascha,

I confirmed that I encountered this issue with the property files
generated by Ant... and I fixed it last week [1] ;) I haven't uploaded
it yet though.

You are right to be concerned about the entries ordering of
java.util.Properties, fortunately Ant uses a subclass that preserves the
ordering [2].

I haven't upstreamed the patches yet, the paint it still fresh and I
expect other issues to surface.
