I tested it - its the java task which fails to run in background if it is
forked. If it is not forked it will work in background. I attach a simple
testcase also for upstream. The bug is already reported upstream as

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34461

I will leave a comment and a reference to our debian bug in the upstream
bugtracker.

Please note that it is possible to vote for bugs in apache bugzilla. So
if you are interested in getting it resolved you should consider going
upstream to the bugzilla and vote for it.

Regards,
Wolfgang

Testcase
Compile HelloWorld.java and do the following:

ant test_notforked    -> will work
ant test_notforked &  -> will work
ant test_forked       -> will work
ant test_forked &     -> will fail
