This issue is due to a change made to StructuredTextEditor rev.1.118 on 3/3/10. Minimally a null check is required for fOutlineHandler at line 1482. fOutlineHandler is created at line 1371 if there is a handlerService. WPE is apparently not providing an IHandlerService at this time. This is now being tracked with Bug 304874.
Created attachment 161187 [details] patch
Released the null check and requested a respin on wtp-releng.
Verified in build I-3.2.0-20100305211931
