"Failed to instrument class." when profiling allocations

[christiandeange]

• Gradle 6.8.3
• JDK 11.0.9
• Android Gradle Plugin 4.2.0-alpha12
• Kotlin 1.4.32

Upon running ./gradlew jvmArgs -Pallocations I'm told to add jvmargs:

Note: using the allocation instrumentation agent (-Pallocations)

***********************************************************************************
Please use the following JVM arguments to instrument a Lint invocation from Gradle.
Be careful to quote the arguments as needed.

-javaagent:/Users/chr/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/com.google.code.java-allocation-instrumenter/java-allocation-instrumenter/3.1.0/d0bdc21c5e6404726b102998e44c66a738897905/java-allocation-instrumenter-3.1.0.jar

-agentpath:/Applications/YourKit-Java-Profiler-2020.9.app/Contents/Resources/bin/mac/libyjpagent.dylib=disableall,probebootclasspath=/Users/chr/Development/android-lint-performance-probe/build/libs/lint-performance-probe.jar,probe_on=com.android.tools.probes.LintDetectorStats

Instrumentation results will be printed to console after the Lint analysis is done.
***********************************************************************************

I can verify that all of these files exist, and when I profile lint's CPU usage normally. (ie: without -Pallocations) it works just fine.

Nevertheless, when using these arguments like so:

gw :app:lintRelease -Dorg.gradle.jvmargs="-javaagent:/Users/chr/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/com.google.code.java-allocation-instrumenter/java-allocation-instrumenter/3.1.0/d0bdc21c5e6404726b102998e44c66a738897905/java-allocation-instrumenter-3.1.0.jar -agentpath:/Applications/YourKit-Java-Profiler-2020.9.app/Contents/Resources/bin/mac/libyjpagent.dylib=disableall,probebootclasspath=/Users/chr/Development/android-lint-performance-probe/build/libs/lint-performance-probe.jar,probe_on=com.android.tools.probes.LintDetectorStats"

I encounter a stacktrace like so:
