Why are the results of the gamm4 function of the gamm4 package different from the standard error displayed by $mer and $gam?

id:268levels
group:10levels

I used the gamm4 function of the package gamm4 to fit the following model.

gamm4_1 <- gamm4(y~z1+z2+z3+age+height+time+bmi,random=~(1|id)+(1|group),data=data,family=binomial)

In this case, the result is given as a list of mer and gam, but the standard error of mer is different from the standard error of gam.

Why are the coefficients the same, but the standard error values are completely different?
