Like many things that look wierd in Ant this is rooted in backwards
compatibility concerns. For a long time copy only worked on files and
doFileOperations was where things happened.
Then we added support for arbitrary resources and we moved all handling
of non-file resources to doResourceOperations so that existing
subclasses of copy that don't support non-File resources can still work.

It probably is a lot easier to add a filterchain with an
expandproperties filterreader in a plain copy task instead of writing a
subclass to achieve the same result.
