In what context and with what version of ant do you see this behavior? Using
1.2rc1 I am able to echo the properties defined within a target.

bash-2.04$ ant -version
Ant version 1.2rc1 compiled on October 14 2000
bash-2.04$ cat tst.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<project name="JavaSerializationTests" default="run" basedir="./">

        <target name="run">
                <property name="version" value="V0" />
                <echo message="in run, version = ${version}" />
                <antcall target="runV">
                        <param name="version" value="${version}" />
                </antcall>
        </target>

        <target name="runV">
                <echo message="in runV, version = ${version}" />
        </target>

</project>
bash-2.04$ ant -buildfile tst.xml
Buildfile: ..\tst.xml

run:
in run, version = V0

runV:
in runV, version = V0

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
