maven-assembly-plugin fails when appendAssemblyId is set to false - maven

Question

I'm trying to build a fat jar with dependencies using maven-assembly-plugin (2.4), JDK 1.8u11, Maven 3.1.1.
I have the plugin configured as following:
<plugin>
<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<archive>
<manifestFile>src/main/resources/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF</manifestFile>
</archive>
<descriptorRefs>
<descriptorRef>jar-with-dependencies</descriptorRef>
</descriptorRefs>
<appendAssemblyId>false</appendAssemblyId>
</configuration>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>single</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
This gives me the following error when running
mvn clean install assembly:single -e

If appendAssemblyId is set to true, it works fine, but the resulting jar has the "jar-with-dependencies" suffix, which I don't want.
Any ideas?
