IDE Sync failure for AGP 9

[jonapoul]

Describe the bug
When loading Kover 0.9.3 with a multiplatform library project using the Android gradle plugin (AGP) v9 prerelease candidates, I get a sync failure. Because this is AGP9, this is using the new Android KMP plugin instead of com.android.library.

I've tried with a few of the AGP9 alphas/beta releases, the break in sync success/failure comes between 9.0.0-alpha13 and 9.0.0-alpha14. Anything after is broken, anything before is fine.

Errors

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'kover-bug'.
> Kover error: Kover requires extension with name 'android' for project ':' since it is recognized as Kotlin/Android project
  Please create an issue in Kover Gradle Plugin repository: https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx-kover/issues

* Try:
> Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

Expected behavior
IDE to successfully sync with KMP, AGP and Kover applied together.

Reproducer
See attached zip for a minimal reproducer: koverbug.zip. The sample is a single-project build, but the same behaviour shows up in multi module too.
