This is a limitation of Java's own Properties.load method, your files are no
legal Java properties files.

With CVS HEAD you can use <loadproperties> together with an <escapeunicode>
filter, this will convert your non-ASCII characters to unicode escaped versions
(the \uABCD notation) on the fly and make Java happy.

AFAICT the code for the new filterreader should be compilable for Ant 1.5.3 as
well, so you could use it as a custom filterreader.
