This may be.

The 1/4-wave loop would exhibit a pattern in free space just like that of a
very small loop, as I mentioned a moment ago.  But of course, it's not in
free space.

The same environmental interactions that result in local loss will also be
coupling power into the supporting trees, which will be re-radiating to a
certain extent, and may thus perform some partial null fill.  Alas, this
re-radiation will also reduce field strength in some other directions, but
so inefficiently that there will probably not be new nulls.
