$(PP_TARGETS) doesn't do what you want.  Unfortunately this is lame.  Try:

properties_deps := $(patsubst %.in,%,$(properties))

and depend on $(properties_deps).

I'm deferring review to nalexander. He's an Android build peer and has more context than I do regarding the future of Android's build system and how this interacts with it.
