The values in statement.managedRuleGroupStatement are the same as before, and I can see them in the WAF console. There's really no change.

I've exported the stack and all looks as expected. The only difference is that every object has an extra `"__defaults": []`, which looks ok to me.

I've seen similar things before on different resource types. I tried explicitly setting the property to what it already was, but the AWS API then complained that the property cannot be set to its existing value.  I ended up working around it by ignoring changes on the property. In my case it was safe to do that because it was a property we would never set or use. It was a setting in dynamodb.
It would be nice to have it fixed properly though. I suspect it's resource and provider specific and they'd need a github issue to with reproducible steps in order to fix it.
