I can't figure out how maven can resolve your property if you do not specify any profile. So, to see what's really there, I tried myself, following exactly the schema you described and... I did not experience the problem you have. In your case, it really behaves like if the property was defined outside the profile -as bugske suggested. What happened if you comment temporarily both profiles ?
