I can't tell if this is Groovy or Gradle but if you run with 
-Dsun.reflect.debugModuleAccessChecks=true then it might reveal a stack 
trace where the exception (IllegalAccessException or 
InaccessibleObjectException) is caught and lost. There are folks from 
these products on this list and I'm sure they can direct us to the right 
place to submit an issue. There is already GRADLE-3565 [1].
