I've noticed that in the Ant build, as it copies the folder over, the JBoss console starts to show different parts of the application deploying in bursts and before the Ant build has completed. Is this expected behavior? (Should there be console output before the Ant build completes? This never happens with packaged archives...)

You could deploy exploded to an ignored filename (e.g. *.old) then
rename to .war as a last step.
