I'd like to call <taskdef> either in a <target> or a <macrodef>.
However, when doing so it seems as if the call is ignored or forgotten
afterward:

Either:

<target name = "ensure-installed">
       <taskdef resource = "net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml" uri =
"http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net" description = "Needed to use
ant-contrib.">
          <classpath>
            <pathelement location =
"/local/sfloess/test/lib/ant-contrib/ant-contrib-1.0b3.jar"/>
          </classpath>
       </taskdef>
</target>

Or

<macrodef name = "ensure-installed">
  <sequential>
       <taskdef resource = "net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml" uri =
"http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net" description = "Needed to use
ant-contrib.">
          <classpath>
            <pathelement location =
"/local/sfloess/test/lib/ant-contrib/ant-contrib-1.0b3.jar"/>
          </classpath>
       </taskdef>    
  </sequential>
</macrodef>

I am running JDK 1.6 and ant 1.7.1

I didn't readily see anything stating this can't be done... Of course,
I didn't spend too much time investigating...
