I don't know anything about production notes for the TDE in the films. I just go by Cameron's explanation in the bank vault and Kyle's T1 explanation:
Cam: "You can't bring anything with you when you come — not weapons, not clothing, nothing."
Kyle: "Nothing dead will go."
I don't think those contradict each other. But if T1 meant that you actually had to be naked to enter the TDE, that's clearly not the case in TSCC. The story evolved, though, so it doesn't have to be the same. Things changed after Sarah blew up Cyberdyne and time travel tech could work differently now than in the previous timeline.
In TSCC, it doesn't matter what you have with you or on you, the only thing coming out the other end of the jump are living bodies (or powered cyborgs). Things that don't go through would either have to get disintegrated in the process or left behind by the bubble. So if John Henry jumped, we've got a contradiction — Cameron and furnishings are there but John Henry's clothing is not.
