Looks like a maven bug - or if not, something that is fishy enough I wouldn't trust the documentation if there were any.

In your case, I would probably:

1. upgrade maven and see if the issue is fixed in the latest m3
2. try repackaging one of the hadoop versions with another artifact id or group name. maven-shade-plugin, don't bother changing the package name, but just introduce something maven won't know is no different from org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-core
3. try moving the tests to a separate project downstream
4. start debugging maven and understand what's going on exactly (and then fall back on 1 or 2...)
