Yes.  This is correct list.

1.4.1 is outdated. If you need for some reason to stay with 1.4, please update to 1.4.2, however - please swap to 1.5. It was released few month ago, is stable, and a a lot of fixes was fixed here.

It is long time since somebody was playing with -property switch, TBH it was forgotten to be tested, but it should be supported.

In meantime  (before I look into it more deeply) maybe you can elaborate with -DpropertyName=value instead of -property propertyName=value and/or -Xnofork - each of those 4 (3new) combinations may lead to different results.

In verbose mode,  the arguments should be reprinted. May you post the logs?

In 1.5 you have developer console. It is providing better logs then 1.4 stdouts/errs.
