effect of adding a constant to predictor

I expected that adding a constant to an input in a mixed
model would affect some of the coefficients, but not such basic
stuff as AIC (or loglik, from which it is derived).
But I seem to have been wrong about that:
[1] 1556.341
[1] 1551.005

Can someone explain why this change to input2 affects AIC (or loglik) ?

BTW, changing (0 + input2 | group) to (0 + input1 | group) 
produces the same AIC before and after the change to input2.
