Invalid path reference after lookup

[FriedGov]

Hello. We recently upgraded from spring-boot-starter-parent 3.1.1 to 3.5.3 and suddenly encountered this issue.
person in this case is reference to a collection in our database.

Code:

    LookupOperation lookupOperation1 = Aggregation.lookup("person", "person.$id", "_id", "person");
    operations.add(lookupOperation1);

    Criteria criteria = new Criteria();

    criteria = criteria.andOperator(
            Criteria.where("type").is("normal"),
            Criteria.where("person.deleted").is(true)
    );

    MatchOperation matchOperation2 = Aggregation.match(criteria);
    operations.add(matchOperation2);

    GroupOperation groupOperation3 = Aggregation.group("_id").count().as("count");

    Aggregation aggregation = Aggregation.newAggregation(lookupOperation1, matchOperation2, groupOperation3);
    AggregationResults<DBObject> countResults = mongoTemplate.aggregate(aggregation, Address.class, DBObject.class);`

Result:
org.springframework.data.mapping.MappingException: Invalid path reference person.deleted; Associations can only be pointed to directly or via their id property

However when we change lookupOperation1 to Aggregation.lookup("person", "person.$id", "_id", "p"); and the criteria to criteria = criteria.andOperator( Criteria.where("type").is("normal"), Criteria.where("p.deleted").is(true) ); it works.

It seems to occur when you assign an existing name of a reference to a lookup result. I tried finding what causes this in the change log, but no luck.
