Ant's jspc task - doesn't work on Tomcat 4.1.18

I'm trying to use Ant's JSPC task to pre-compile my JSPs. I've used Erik Hatcher's example from Java Development with Ant. It works great when using a 4.0.x version of Tomcat, and the following jasper.classpath: 

<path id="jasper.classpath">
    <fileset dir="${tomcat.home}/lib">
        <include name="jasper-*.jar"/>
    </fileset>
    <fileset dir="${tomcat.home}/common/lib">
        <include name="servlet.jar"/>
    </fileset>
</path>

However, it doesn't work on Tomcat 4.1.17. I had to change the jasper.classpath to find the appropriate jars (they're in different directories now), plus I had to include ant.jar or I got java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tools/ant/AntClassLoader. Where everything works on the older Tomcat version, now it fails - what gives?
