Gradle 2.14-rc-3 throws MissingPropertyException for property set that worked previously

Appears to be another regression related to property access. This test fails, but worked in previous releases. Note that if I manually inline the setupProject method, the issue clears up:

import org.gradle.api.Project
import org.gradle.api.plugins.JavaPlugin
import org.gradle.testfixtures.ProjectBuilder
import spock.lang.Specification

class MissingPropertySpec extends Specification {
    static String mavenUrl

    Project project

    def setup() {
        mavenUrl = "http://someurl"
        project = ProjectBuilder.builder().build()
    }

    def 'test'() {
        expect:
        setupProject(project)
    }

    private static void setupProject(Project project) {
        project.apply plugin: JavaPlugin

        project.status = 'release'

        project.repositories {
            maven { url mavenUrl }
        }
    }
}

Failure:

groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: Could not get unknown property 'mavenUrl' for object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.repositories.DefaultMavenArtifactRepository.

Thanks. I’ve added GRADLE-3461 for this issue.
