Version not replaced in modules

[Hatzen]

Illegal char <:> at index xyz: \maven3\repository\xyz\dependency${group:dependency:pom.version}}.pom.lastUpdated

When trying to sync maven is crashes as the defined dependency referenced in module pom seems to not replace the versionand so the colon is not properly.
Is this plugin not working for multimodule projects or am i missing some thing special for them which is not mentioned in the old readme?
