Android Studio 0.2.7 build exception with Gradle

Android Studio 0.2.7 build exception with Gradle

I'm in the process of migrating over to Android Studio from Eclipse.
Although since Android Studio is still in "Preview" mode, I am migrating
slowly and incrementally. Since updating to the newest version of Android
Studio (0.2.7), I've come across an error in the default build process
that prevents me from building ANY Android projects, even if I create a
new "empty" project from within the new version of Android Studio. When I
click the "Run" button in Android Studio, I am presented with this error
message:
Execution failed for task ':GradlePreview:packageDebug'.
class org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Primitive overrides final method
equals.(Ljava/lang/Object;)Z
If I then run gradle from the command line in order to receive a more
detailed stacktrace, I get this:
Exception is:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskExecutionException: Execution failed for task
':GradlePreview:packageDebug'.

BUILD FAILED
I've seen similar stacktraces posted on this site and I've implemented
what was suggested but none of those solutions solved the problem for me.
This includes deleting/moving legacy versions of BouncyCastle out of my
Java Extensions folder and I've also removed those files from the
android-sdk/tools/lib directory.
