This is not a regression in Ant. We have not changed that bit of the code. 

Look at ant.Main lines 317 to 340...there is some stuff there that mentions
different JVMs behave differently and pass -Dfoo=bar down as "-Dfoo" "bar"
sometimes.

Which would create exactly the behaviour you are citing...if the "=" sign is
being stripped the next arg gets pulled in and boom, your build is broken. Not
much we can do about this. 

It has never been stated that -Dfoo= was a valid assignment, please desist from
doing so :)
