<property> uses 

                FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
                try {
                    props.load(fis);

which would need to be modified if you want a different encoding than
the platform's default.

If you want to dive in and patch it, may I suggest to add the encoding
attribute to <loadproperties> instead and leave the poor overloaded
<property> task alone 8-)
