> Illustrator layers only have a Layer panel is they are NOT continuously rasterized. As soon as you CR them, they technically have no "source" until later in the render pipeline (after Transformations). Because masks have to be applied to pixels, the layer panel just won't open. I've asked before for a dialog to open to explain this, as it is confusing behavior. So if you want to apply a mask you have to do it in the comp panel after the pixels have been made; or turn off CR and mask, then turn it back on.
