Different classifiers with different unique snapshot IDs doesn't work well

Gradle Version: verified from 2.9 to 3.0
Operating System and JVM version: OS X, Linux, JDK 1.8
Is this a regression? No

I have artifact-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar and artifact-1.0-SNAPSHOT-tests.jar deployed by same project.

maven-metadata.xml points classifier ‘tests’ to unique version ‘1.0-20160915.104846-3’, and plain .jar with no classifier to ‘1.0-20160915.113236-4’.

Issue is that gradle tries to resolve ‘tests’ artifact by using plain .jar 's unique version.
