This is probably due to the PER HW supervised mode and the fact that there is no sleep dependency by default between MPU and PER or between CORE and PER.
As soon as the latest peripherals inside the PER power domain is going to idle, the clock domain and thus the power domain can transition to the next power state, even if the CPU is running.
It can by avoided by enabling the dependency but then you will prevent the PER to go to OFF mode even if not used.

What was changed to trigger that behavior now?

Benoit
