plugin not correctly interpolating POM variables like ${settings.localRepository}

It looks like the issue was fixed only partely: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MASSEMBLY-189

But some variables like ${settings.localRepository} are still not interpolated in assembly descriptor. Example:

C:\src\tvworks\trunk\tva\mpeg\stream-gen\etv-stream-generator>mvn assembly:attached
