Cannot access internal components from test source with Android

Question

I have got the following structure:

build.gradle
src
 - main
   - AndroidManifest.xml
   - kotlin 
     - pkg
       - MyClass.kt (internal class MyClass)
 - test
   - kotlin
     - pkg
       - MyClassTest.kt   

In MyClassTest.kt I reference the internal class MyClass.

The build.gradle:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-android'
//apply plugin: 'java'
//apply plugin: 'kotlin'

android {
  compileSdkVersion 23
  buildToolsVersion "23.0.2"

  sourceSets {
    main.java.srcDirs += 'src/main/kotlin'
    test.java.srcDirs += 'src/test/kotlin'
  }
}

dependencies {
  testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
  compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:$kotlin_version"
}

buildscript {
  ext.kotlin_version = '1.0.0-beta-2423'
  repositories {
    mavenCentral()
  }
  dependencies {
    classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
  }
}

repositories {
  mavenCentral()
}

Now when I run ./gradlew test, I get the following error:

Cannot access 'MyClass': it is 'internal' in 'pkg'

However, when I switch the plugins to use java instead of com.android.application, and kotlin instead of kotlin-android, the tests do succeed.

How can I reference internal classes from my test sources when using the Android plugins?

This issue existed as bug KT-9441 (as noted by @Andrey), and has since been fixed. There should be no current problem with latest Kotlin and its Gradle plugins.
