The following example shows a blank screen in Window Builder:

import javax.swing.JFrame;


public class Frame extends JFrame{
	
	private JPanel panel;
	
	public Frame(){
		super();
		initialize();
	}
	
	private void initialize() {
		this.setName("ABC");
		this.setLocation(0, 10);
		this.setSize(990, 750);
		this.setTitle("abc");
		this.setContentPane(this.getPanel());
	}
	
	protected JPanel getPanel() {
		if (panel == null) {
			panel = new JPanel();
			
			JLabel lblTest = new JLabel("lala");
			panel.add(lblTest);
			
		}
		panel.addComponentListener(new java.awt.event.ComponentAdapter() {
			public void componentResized(java.awt.event.ComponentEvent e) {
				// abc
			}
		});
		
		return panel;
	}
}

But if panel.addComponentListener is moved into the if block, it works

protected JPanel getPanel() {
		if (panel == null) {
			panel = new JPanel();
			
			JLabel lblTest = new JLabel("lala");
			panel.add(lblTest);
			
			panel.addComponentListener(new java.awt.event.ComponentAdapter() {
				public void componentResized(java.awt.event.ComponentEvent e) {
					// abc
				}
			});
		}
		
		return panel;
	}

Is it possible to get it working without touching the code? We've got a lot of legacy code that isn't even ours and we can't check and update a thousand panels.

In theory - yes.
Practically this is violation of lazy pattern and I don't want to include this into WindowBuilder codebase.

If you want, you could make your custom version with tweaked

org.eclipse.wb.internal.core.model.variable.LazyVariableSupportUtils.getInformation(MethodDeclaration)

method.

You really should fix this code. As written, having panel.addComponentListener outside of the if block is very bad and will lead to the same listener being added multiple times (a serious bug). This is not something we want to encourage or support. If you are going to use the lazy pattern, use it correctly.
