      ALL subsequent attempts to change configuration fail with NPE as above.

      There is a new <null/> line in the project's config.xml:

      <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>                                          
      <project>                                                                       
      ...
        <triggers>                                                                    
          <null/>                                                                     
      ...        
        </triggers>
      ...                                                              
      </project>                                                                      
      

      I was able to get this error also when Git was enabled as the SCM, but it is simpler to reproduce as above.
