Studio Build: Android Studio 2.2.2
Build #AI-145.3360264, built on October 18, 2016
JRE: 1.8.0_76-release-b03 amd64
JVM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM by JetBrains s.r.o

Version of Gradle Plugin: 2.2.2
Version of Gradle: 2.14.1
Version of Java: 1.8
OS: Windows 10


Steps to Reproduce:
I've created a "qa" product Flavor, and I am trying to build the "qaRelease" varian by issuing the following gradle command:
"./gradlew clean assembleqaRelease --stacktrace"

Everything builds and works fine when I use Gradle Plugin v2.1.3.  However, when I upgrade to Gradle Plugin v2.2.2, It fails with the following stacktrace  (same issue persists even after invalidating cache and restarting):

* What went wrong:
A problem was found with the configuration of task ':app:packageQaRelease'.

* Try:
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

* Exception is:
