Things get more rattly on an empty bike, but even that hasn't bothered me. I'm a casual rider, so maybe that's a part of it, but I actually quite like how Bullitt handles.

Bullitts are fine when you get used to riding them but really dont ride like a normal bike so definitely have an odd handling, they're meant to be rode loaded and where they excel.

I quite like how they ride as well, I just take it a bit easier than I would like down hills and on the flats if the bike is empty! It's annoying because our depot is down hill from nearly everywhere we deliver to so we're always going up hill with a full bike and down hill with an empty one

We have some older Bullitts and one brand new one, the only one that I don't notice the front wheel wobbling alarmingly when going at any sort of speed is the older one with the damper. It seems to be less exaggerated when the bike is fully loaded than when it's empty so maybe the weight of the kids is cancelling it out. To be honest, I've never had anything bad happen because of the wobbly front wheel but I can't imagine it's a good thing!
