Pact in instrumented Android tests fails due to SaxParser conflict

[SanityResort]

This simple example run as instrumented test in an Android project

import au.com.dius.pact.consumer.ConsumerPactBuilder
import org.junit.Test


class PactTest {

    @Test
    fun pact() {

        ConsumerPactBuilder
            .consumer("An Android App")
            .hasPactWith("A Backend")
            .uponReceiving("a request")

    }
}

causes the following stacktrace
