Here's a pom for an app that will reproduce the problem:

The problem appears to be that BindersHealthContributor is an empty NamedContributors. When getting its aggregate health contributions is left empty so null is returned. This null entry is then put into the outer contributions map with binders as its key. Aggregation of these values then fails due to the presence of the null in the map's values.
