Jenkins build fails with "[ERROR] FATAL ERROR" if you build a Maven 2 project that uses maven-failsafe-plugin.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new job in Jenkins
2. Specify Maven2/3 job
3. Choose Git in source code management
4. Specify https://github.com/ahjones/broken-failsafe-maven as the repo
5. Choose Maven 2.2.1 as the Maven version.
6. Save the build
7. Click build.

Expected behaviour:
The build completes

Actual behaviour:
The build doesn't complete. The relevant portion of the console output is:

I'll attach a copy of the source.

This was introduced fairly recently: I update Jenkins often.
