Is the default configuration leaking into independent configurations?

So I managed to have something working but it looks very hackish:

private File computeDependency(Object module) {
        def oldGroup = project.group
        def result = null
        try {
            project.group = 'virtual_group_for_japicmp'
            // convenience wrapping for single file
            def depModule = module instanceof File ? project.files(module) : module
            def configuration = project.configurations.detachedConfiguration(
                    project.dependencies.create(depModule) {
                        if (hasProperty('transitive')) {
                            transitive = false
                        }
                    }
            )
              result = configuration.singleFile
        } finally {
            project.group = oldGroup
        }
        result
    }

Note how I am forced to change the group of the project. Now it allows me to write:

task japicmp(type: me.champeau.gradle.ArtifactJapicmpTask) {
    baseline = 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy:2.3.5'
    to = 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy:2.3.6'
    // ...
}

or:

task japicmp(type: me.champeau.gradle.ArtifactJapicmpTask) {
    baseline = 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy:2.3.5'
    to = jar.archivePath
}

But (and I’m not sure if it is relevant), this will fail:

task japicmp(type: me.champeau.gradle.ArtifactJapicmpTask) {
    baseline = 'org.codehaus.groovy:groovy:2.3.5'
    to = project
}

Error is: Module version virtual_group_for_japicmp:groovy:2.4.0-SNAPSHOT, configuration ‘detachedConfiguration3’ declares a dependency on configuration ‘default’ which is not declared in the module descriptor for virtual_group_for_japicmp:groovy:2.4.0-SNAPSHOT
