SpringBoot Spring Boot 3.2.4 Test Failures

There is an observed testing issue when updating to Spring Boot 3.2.4 also present in 3.3.0 milestones.

Project and tests have been running for years.

Tests still pass individually so potentially contamination/stale cache in the test context?

Looking at release notes maybe this is related?

Yes, this would appear to be a problem in Spring Data's TypeDiscoverer that is causing the stack to overflow. Please create a minimal sample that reproduces the problem and then report it in the Spring Data Commons repository.
