Android Studio Gradle issue after updating to version 0.6.0

Question

Since I updated Android Studio to version 0.6.0 I'm facing following issue with Gradle Sync:

There's a discussion on Google+ and Google adt-dev group which suggests that the auto enabling of new Manifest Merger causing the issue. The discussion and solution is so unclear on both platforms, although I did try to add android { useOldManifestMerger true; } as suggested in build.gradle but I'm still getting this error.

P.S: We're using RoboGuice and suspecting that it could be compatibility issue.

Here's the log:

I had the same problem, I had to comment:

apply plugin: 'android-test'

and

testCompile 'junit: junit: 4.10'
testCompile 'org.robolectric: robolectric: 2.3'
testCompile 'com.squareup: fest-android: 1.0 +.'

instrumentTestCompile 'junit: junit: 4.10'
instrumentTestCompile 'org.robolectric: robolectric: 2.3'
instrumentTestCompile 'com.squareup: fest-android: 1.0 +.'

My problem was the plugin support for test: https://github.com/robolectric/deckard-gradle/issues/11
