Generation Details
- generator: openapi-generator-maven-plugin

Research direction
Start with the linked reproduction project and run its openapi-generator-maven-plugin setup using generatorName spring and version 5.1.1. Inspect the generated put[Values] method and compare its map creation with the nullable map behavior described in the issue. Done means nullable maps generate correctly without the reported error and the reproduction no longer shows the missing wrapper.
