Along these lines, can the Gradle javadoc task be changed to make it

Almost certainly. I think the issue here is that one or two people need
to take ownership of "The JavaDoc Task Problem" and fix it :-)

Step 1 would be to set up a JIRA issue.

I haven't tried exactly what Tom proposed in his reply, but something very similar is what produced the error I included in my original post. Javadoc seems to have some sort of issue with my assigning that directory as a srcDir. I'm hoping that flipping the above flag will resolve the issue.

I haven't actually done any research on the source code yet (I will see
if I can take some time on it tomorrow), but I don't see why Gradle
can't just provide a thin Adapter (or, if necessary, Façade) to the
JavaDoc Ant Task.  Of course, I may be missing something obvious...

That is what we are currently doing. But the layer is too thin ;) When I have created this task, I had just no time to create an option class like we do for javac or groovyc. This is very straight forward to do.
