There is a downvote button, but you need some minimum karma for it to be available to you.

I can understand why it might be confusing if there's no downvote arrow visible!

Yeah, that some kind of UX pardigm - don't hide the control. Disable it, and explain the user why he cannot use it at the moment.

On the other hand, though, I can now simply collapse huge branches without downvoting anyone, so thanks for the clarification! :)
