Execution order of Maven build plugins during release:prepare - maven

Question

Today I observed a strange behavior in Maven 3 while preparing a release (with the Maven release plugin). As the description tends to be rather long, I would like to ask the question right before the description:
How do I achieve to use the release plugin
so that the build fork executes plugins in the right order
without having multiple executions of same plugins#
and get a valid plugin.xml for the Mojo
The artifact to be released is a Maven plugin itself (Mojo with Annotations). When invoking the release:prepare goal it first starts the process in interactive mode asking for the new version data of the release. After that it forks a new process doing a "clean verify" on the project that's supposed to be released.
As described by the console output the execution order of the invocation is
clean
plugin:descriptor (Maven-plugin-plugin)
resources
compile
testResources
testCompile
test
It seems as if plugin:descriptor is not able to find any Mojos as compilation has not been taken place:
[INFO] [INFO] --- maven-plugin-plugin:3.2:descriptor (default-descriptor) # concordion-maven-plugin ---
[INFO] [WARNING] Using platform encoding (Cp1252 actually) to read mojo metadata, i.e. build is platform dependent!
[INFO] [INFO] Applying mojo extractor for language: java-annotations
[INFO] [INFO] Mojo extractor for language: java-annotations found 0 mojo descriptors.
When configured in the right way, the plugin fails because of no mojo found.
If I configure the release plugin to explicitly invoke the compile goal using
<preparationGoals>clean compile verify</preparationGoals>
the order of plugin execution changes to the following:
clean
plugin:descriptor (Maven-plugin-plugin)
resources
compile
plugin:descriptor (this time finding the Mojo annotation)
resources
compile
testResources
testCompile
test
As the Mojo is found the plugin.xml is created with all the necessary data.
This is the whole build section of my pom.
