I think you just need to add a call to create() for the tree items that are
created after the program's up and running, e.g.

    item = $tree.addItemLast(...)
    item.create

For more info, please see this question from the FOX FAQ:

This may be the same problem (although I'm not sure). See what changes (if
anything) if you add a call to dialog.create right before the call to
dialog.show.
