I don't have any intuitive sense of what is happening there. Clearly NetBeans is showing/hiding a UI based on something they are sniffing in the core JDK. It might be helpful to know what that is first, but even without any other information, sure - file a bug.

It might also be worth asking on a NetBeans list, and point them at the bug (with pretty JDK6 vs. JDK7 screenshots), and see if someone there knows what the core difference is.
