This is a known bug with the hyperlink component.
If you were to open the theme jar and look at formElements.js, you will find that the hyperlink creates an hidden field to pass on the request parameters. Unfortunately, this hidden field is not removed if the page does not refresh.(i.e in frames environment) Hence, when you click another tree node, the hidden text field created from the previous click stays and so when the request goes to the server, there are now two hidden text fields, one from the previous click and one from the present click of another tree node.
You can work around by providing a javascript function which will attempt to clear the hidden field that is generated. Set a sufficient time out interval after which you can remove the generated hidden field.(put this javascript in the onclick of your created hyperlink). The hidden field id is something like
<hyperlink's client id>_hiddenfield.
