Now that you put it like *that*, perhaps the functionality is wrong! Should
system properties specified with java -D override hibernate.properties,
rather than the other way round? That makes more sense, I suppose.

(Properties specified in hibernate.cfg.xml already override
hibernate.properties. Properties specified by passing a
java.util.Properties *completely* ignore hibernate.properties + system
properties.)
