This would give them a stronger position in any subsequent settlement and some PR points in their relations with the South. This could help keep the North a seperate nation to act as a buffer zone between the US troops in Korea and the Chinese border. Of course that would be highly risky, with a huge potential to start a wider conflict if they don't announce their plans to the US and South Koreans who would naturally assume that it was China reinforcing the North, and it could give China a bad reputation for betraying an ally.
Once again, highly unlikely, but not completely impossible.

the main problem i see with this sceniro is that China would have to help pay into the North Korea rebuilding pot and that will be a huge pot needing hundreds of billions of dollars. By staying out and closing the border they can avoid having to pay any money in regard to NK.
