With the stable release of Android Studio 3.0 I digged a little deeper. Turns out our script for naming the APK didn't work, but was only breaking on Windows.

Old Script:

applicationVariants.all { variant ->
    variant.outputs.each { output ->
        def outputFile = output.outputFile
        if (outputFile != null && outputFile.name.endsWith('.apk')) {
            def fileName = outputFile.name.replace('.apk', "-${versionName}.apk")
            output.outputFile = new File(outputFile.parent, fileName)
        }
    }
}

Fixed Script:

applicationVariants.all { variant ->
    variant.outputs.all {
        outputFileName = "${variant.name}-${variant.versionName}.apk"
    }
}
