I reported #1769 which I happily noticed got fixed with #1780.
But it looks like there is a mistake.

while (gradle kotlin syntax)
spotless { java { googleJavaFormat().reorderImports(true).aosp() } }
is using GJFs import order
spotless { java { googleJavaFormat().aosp().reorderImports(true) } }
is using spotless import order.

I assume the reason for it is a missing replaceStep(createStep()); call in reorderImports which is executed with the aosp() call in the working version. I will link the position in the PR with this ticket.
