Component palette no more usable after resetting the IDE's GUI

What happened

Once the NetBeans IDE's GUI is restored to its default configuration (see Window -> Reset Windows menu item), it's impossible to use a custom component palette. When trying to select an item, the palette disappears and the item can't be dragged & dropped.

The custom palette is created with the PaletteFactory class and its createPalette method:

How to reproduce

Just create a new component palette using the palette API. Then, build and install the module. Open NetBeans and reset its GUI : the content of the palette can't be used anymore.

Did this work correctly in an earlier version?

Is this in the context of adding to the IDE, or adding to a platform application? Can you create a basic example project that demonstrates the issue, and attach it here.

It is in the context of adding to a platform application.

I attach here the code used to create our palette. It is slightly incomplete but you can use it to reproduce the issue.
