About the properties not refreshing, I have two comments:
1) Your code seems well. I would guess your model isn't loaded/referenced correctly. In your previous postings, I saw you reference your model correctly per GUID so I think the problem is that you don't register the plugin in the plugin.xml file correctly. The SkinEngine can only load the model with a given GUID if it is registered using the <Model> element in plugin.xml.
2) We currently don't support the visibility mode Collapsed at all. Collapsed and Hidden work exactly the same, that's why we always use the IsVisible property instead of the Visibility property.

Did you try our example plugins in the Resources folder? Some things are explained there.
It's sometimes hard to find a problem when the SkinEngine doesn't work as expected. You can look into the log output and for hard problems, you can switch on more log output in several classes, for example FrameworkElement, BindingMarkupExtension and some more. Sometimes, the only thing which helps is to debug the SkinEngine in the IDE.
Furthermore, it might be easier to help you when you attach your complete plugin code.
