Sounds like you are hitting the problem described in the recently opened
<https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49261>

I haven't found the time to fully look into this but think Ant should
not overwrite read-only files by default - so this part would be a fix
rather than a regression.  It probably should do so if the overwrite
attribute has been set to true, but the bug report says ant doesn't do
so either.
