SpringBoot Error creating HealthEndpointConfiguration in AbstractAspectJAdvice.bindExplicitArguments in 3.2.6

I'm reporting a separate issue after my case was rejected to be part of https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/issues/40895#issuecomment-2133002349.

Reproducing: 1. use spring-boot-starter-actuator 2. @EnableAspectJAutoProxy 3. @EnableTransactionManagement(mode = AdviceMode.ASPECTJ)

and context will fail to start with:

Error creating bean with name 'healthEndpointGroupsBeanPostProcessor' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/actuate/autoconfigure/health/HealthEndpointConfiguration.class]: BeanPostProcessor before instantiation of bean failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'healthEndpointGroupsBeanPostProcessor' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/actuate/autoconfigure/health/HealthEndpointConfiguration.class]: BeanPostProcessor before instantiation of bean failed

Same code works with Spring Boot 3.2.5.

Simple reproducing project: https://github.com/pkubowicz/spring-boot-326-aspects-bug (run ./gradlew test to see the error)

Thanks for opening a separate issue. Since I made that request, I've learned that this is caused by a regression in Spring Framework. Please see that issue for some suggestions on how to work around the problem.
