fix: show `:then` block for `null` value (#14440)

fixes #14439

This bug was introduced in #13642 because setting the input to null means the equality check ("is the input different") fails if you set the value to null

Also fixes #14441 - this bug was present for a long time, and the reason is the same as for the other bug: The equality check always returns "yes this is the same" if the value is undefined initially. The fix is similar; we need to initialize the input to something that can never be equal to whatever value is passed
