The issue here seems to be with the property list that gets constructed 
from the ‘ant_targets’ variable.

You can dump the variable with:

     pp ant_targets

You should do that before calling TextMate::UI.menu, and in the top of 
the source, add:

     require "pp"

This should give us an idea of wether the variable is indeed a “bad” 
data structure (e.g. containing ‘nil’ values) or if the issue is 
with the library code being used (i.e. the code implicitly invoked by 
TextMate::UI.menu).

If you provide an ant.xml file I can test if I see the same problem (and 
possibly find the cause).
