I forgot I had added the junit (3.8.1) jar to my 1.6b2 ant lib directory.
Copying it to the 1.6.2 ant lib dir solved the problem.

Also, in the junit task, using forkmode="once" halved the time
taken for the 10 short tests (from 8 to 4 seconds), and
still allowed to use assert via jvmarg, so the problem is solved.

Thanks,
Paul Elschot.

P.S.
This is the ant test task now from build.xml, with the property test.fork="yes":

  <target name="test" depends="compile-test" if="junit.present"
    description="Runs unit tests"
  >
    <mkdir dir="${junit.output.dir}"/>
    <junit
        printsummary="off"
        haltonfailure="${test.haltonfailure}"
        errorProperty="tests.failed"
        failureProperty="tests.failed"
        fork="yes"
        forkmode="once"
    >
      <jvmarg value="-enableassertions:${test.assert.package}..."/>
      <classpath refid="junit.classpath"/>
      <sysproperty key="dataDir" file="src/test"/>
      <sysproperty key="tempDir" file="${build.dir}/test"/>
      <formatter type="xml"/>
      <formatter type="brief" usefile="false"/>
      <batchtest fork="${test.fork}" todir="${junit.output.dir}" unless="testcase">
        <fileset dir="src/test" includes="**/Test*.java"/>
      </batchtest>
      <batchtest fork="${test.fork}" todir="${junit.output.dir}" if="testcase">
        <fileset dir="src/test" includes="**/Test*${testcase}.java"/>
      </batchtest>
    </junit>

    <fail if="tests.failed">Tests failed!</fail>
  </target>
