Configure Project is ALWAYS crashing

[John Lussmyer]

This just started today, and I have no idea what is causing it.
Whenever I click on Save from Configure Project, I get this exception:  (and my changes aren't saved)

this seems to come from a bug from the Exclusion plugin (judging from the stacktrace).
