This is expected behavior, it is not Ant that is creating the
subdirectory but javac/jikes. The class resides in the package test,
destdir is the root of the hierarchy so the resulting class gets into
destdir/test/.

Well, this is something I've never seen - and I can't reproduce it
either (maybe because I don't have a Windows box at hand). Does it
work if you use destdir=".."?
