[SOLVED] Spring Boot native does not override Logback logging.config property

There is minimal SpringBoot + Gradle application

plugins {
    java
    id("org.springframework.boot") version "3.1.5"
    id("io.spring.dependency-management") version "1.1.3"
    id("org.graalvm.buildtools.native") version "0.9.27"
}

group = "com.example"
version = "0.0.7"

java {
    sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_17
}

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

dependencies {
    implementation("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter")
}

tasks {
    bootBuildImage {
        builder.set("paketobuildpacks/builder-jammy-tiny:latest")
    }
}

application.properties looks like

logging.config=classpath:logback-aaa.xml

and single java file

package com.example.springlogbacknative;

import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class SpringLogbackNativeApplication {
    public static Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(SpringLogbackNativeApplication.class);

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("System.getenv(\"LOGGING_CONFIG\") = " + System.getenv("LOGGING_CONFIG"));
        System.out.println("System.getenv(\"logging.config\") = " + System.getenv("logging.config"));

        SpringApplication.run(SpringLogbackNativeApplication.class, args);
    }
}

After building this project with command ./gradlew bootBuildImage and running with following docker compose file

services:
  sln:
    image: spring-logback-native:0.0.7
    environment:
      LOGGING_CONFIG: "classpath:logback-replace.xml"
      logging.config: "classpath:logback-replace.xml"

No replacement happens.

System.getenv("LOGGING_CONFIG") = classpath:logback-replace.xml
System.getenv("logging.config") = classpath:logback-replace.xml

I would expect logging.config=classpath:logback-aaa.xml from application.properties replaced with ENV LOGGING_CONFIG: "classpath:logback-replace.xml" provided in docker compose file.

My investigation end inside org.springframework.boot.context.logging.LoggingApplicationListener.initializeSystem where String logConfig = environment.getProperty(CONFIG_PROPERTY); IMHO should return replaced path. And it works in NON native environment.
