cbt eval throws NPE when defaultScalaVersion is overridden

[bbarker]

To reproduce:

brandon@beb82dell0:~/workspace/ProjectGists/Scala$ mkdir CBT_eval_with_override
brandon@beb82dell0:~/workspace/ProjectGists/Scala$ cd CBT_eval_with_override/
brandon@beb82dell0:~/workspace/ProjectGists/Scala/CBT_eval_with_override$ cbt tools createMain
(Note: nailgun not found. It makes CBT faster! Try 'brew install nailgun' or 'apt-get install nailgun'.)
Created Main.scala
()
brandon@beb82dell0:~/workspace/ProjectGists/Scala/CBT_eval_with_override$ cbt tools createBuild
(Note: nailgun not found. It makes CBT faster! Try 'brew install nailgun' or 'apt-get install nailgun'.)
Created build/build.scala
()
brandon@beb82dell0:~/workspace/ProjectGists/Scala/CBT_eval_with_override$ emacs build/build.scala 

1. add with CommandLineOverrides to Build class definition
2. add override val defaultScalaVersion = "2.12.4" (exact version doesn't matter)

brandon@beb82dell0:~/workspace/ProjectGists/Scala/CBT_eval_with_override$ cbt eval scalaVersion
(Note: nailgun not found. It makes CBT faster! Try 'brew install nailgun' or 'apt-get install nailgun'.)

I'll also note it doesn't seem to matter what the argument to cbt eval is - it could be some other member as well with the same result.

If this doesn't help to repro, maybe it is linux specific - I'm using Ubuntu 16.04. Can throw together a docker container if necessary. Here is the code.
