Ivy used to retrieve guava, now it does not

Question

Related question: Ivy cached a dependency file, but not copy to my lib

My situation is nearly identical, except that this has been working for quite a while until recently.

Ivy retrieves other jars: transitive dependencies like com.google.code.findbugs, and specified artifacts like junit.

It does not copy the guava jar to my lib.

ivy.xml:

<ivy-module version="2.0">
    <info organisation="mine" module="external-deps"/>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency org="com.google.guava" name="guava" rev="14.0.1"/>
        <dependency org="junit" name="junit" rev="4.11"/>
    </dependencies>
</ivy-module>

Ant retrieve task:

<target name="_ivy_retrieve" depends="init-ivy">
    <ivy:retrieve type="jar" pattern="${lib.dir}/ivy/[conf]/[organisation]/[artifact]-[type]-[revision].[ext]" log="quiet"/>
    <ivy:artifactproperty conf="default" name="lib.[artifact].[type]" value="ivy/[conf]/[organisation]/[artifact]-[type]-[revision].[ext]"/>
</target>

Is my ivy.xml specified incorrectly? Is my retrieve task broken? Or, did something break for the 14.0.1 distribution for Guava?

It appears that Ivy's type attribute strongly corresponds to Maven's packaging attribute. Google Guava uses package type bundle instead of jar which is used by most open source projects.
