In the latest build of the ribbon controls, the Ribbon.Visibility property detatches bindings the second time the bound property is set. This seems to happen in MetroLight/MetroWhite theme. Changing to OfficeBlack, it works just fine.

Initial startup:

System.Windows.Data Warning: 56 : Created BindingExpression (hash=1669506) for Binding (hash=59837824)
System.Windows.Data Warning: 58 : Path: 'LoginViewModel.IsLoginVisible'

Setting the property the first time:

Hi Bjørnar,

If the IsRibbonVisibleWithBackstage property is set to false (which I believe it is in Metro themes), RibbonWindow puts a binding on the Ribbon's Visibility property to hide it when Backstage opens.

If you need to control visibility yourself, put your binding on a containing element of Ribbon instead so that your binding won't get wiped out.
