    The javax.swing.JEditorPane doc does not specify exactly
 c-tor reaction on invalid type of the content.
 

The javadoc says:
public JEditorPane(String type,
                   String text)

    Creates a JEditorPane that has been initialized to the given text.
    This is a convenience constructor that
    calls the setContentType and setText methods.
    Parameters:
       type - mime type of the given text.
       text - the text to initialize with.

public final void setContentType(String type)

    Sets the type of content that this editor handles. This calls
    getEditorKitForContentType, and then setEditorKit if an editor <--
    kit can be successfully located. This is mostly convenience
    method that can be used as an alternative to calling setEditorKit
    directly.

    If there is a charset definition specified as a parameter of the
    content type specification, it will be used when loading input
    streams using the associated EditorKit.
    ...
    Parameters:
       type - the non-null mime type for the content editing support.


  The constructor throws NullPointerException (bugId 4198136).
