Describe the bug

Gradle: 8.12

If you add a version with an XML formatted description to your gradle project the build will fail with the following error:

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'magnetic'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':modImplementation'.
   > Could not resolve maven.modrinth:tree-harvester:1.21.2-9.0-fabric+neo.

            > Resetting to invalid mark

I tried this POM: https://api.modrinth.com/maven/maven/modrinth/tree-harvester/1.21.2-9.0-fabric+neo/tree-harvester-1.21.2-9.0-fabric+neo.pom.

Steps to reproduce

1. Add the modrinth maven repo to your gradle repositories.
2. Add modImplementation("maven.modrinth:tree-harvester:1.21.2-9.0-fabric+neo") to your dependencies.

Expected behavior

Normally, the version should just be downloaded. It works with e.g. Sodium.
