Regular Maven build works fine, but with mvnd I get this error:

The problem comes from the way mvnd is launched. The jars that consist the main mvnd class path are leaking to plugins because the setup is slightly different. I’ll try to fix it so that we can have a classloader setup similar to the maven one.

Your workaround works for me.
