The field
protected boolean loadedChildren;
of class javax.swing.DynamicUtilTreeNode
is 'true' if class was instantiated with null children and
method loadChildren() has not been called. The right value is 'false'.

The doc says:
--------------------------------------------------
protected boolean loadedChildren
    Have the children been loaded yet?

The test demonstrating the bug:
-----------------Test.java------------------------
import javax.swing.JTree;

public class Test extends JTree.DynamicUtilTreeNode {

    public Test(Object value, Object children) {
  super(value, children);
    }
    public boolean getField_loadedChildren() {
        return loadedChildren;
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
Test test;

test = new Test(null, new Object[0]);
        System.out.println("children != null, no loadChildren(): "+
            test.getField_loadedChildren());

test = new Test(null, new Object[0]);
        test.loadChildren();
        System.out.println("children != null, loadChildren(): "+
            test.getField_loadedChildren());
 
test = new Test(null, null);
        System.out.println("children == null, no loadChildren(): "+
            test.getField_loadedChildren());
    }
}

---------Output from the test---------------------
children != null, no loadChildren(): false
children != null, loadChildren(): true
children == null, no loadChildren(): true
