This looks like a bug in the dependency plugin. Nexus is *just* a fancy
HTTP server. I suggest you do what Jason suggested on maven-users and
submit a sample pom.

This line in the output:

Furthermore, for me at least, dependency:list works, further suggesting
a problem specific to the dependency:tree goal.

That said, in general, I wouldn't advise anyone to use SNAPSHOTs (from
any project) from a public repository - they're just too fragile. If you
need to depend upon pre-release versions, you're better off building
yourself.

HTH,
