Setting the titlebar control back button visible through C# for the first time allows it to be dragged and removes animation

[RyanLua]

Describe the bug

When you set the TitleBar back button visible through C# (not XAML) the first time, it allows you to drag the window by the back button and removes the back button animation.

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Create a titlebar control in XAML with the back button IsBackButtonVisible false
2. In the .xaml.cs file, set the IsBackButtonVisible to true
3. Observe that you can drag the window by the back button and the animation is removed

Expected behavior

Setting the back button in the titlebar control should retain the same behaviors as when setting it through XAML.

Additional context

If you ser the back button invisible and set it visible it again, it works like normal as expected. The first time you make the back button visible is when it is in this bugged state.

@RyanLua I'm able to reproduce the issue, but the first repro step is incorrect (should be IsVisible, not IsEnabled). It also seems it's missing from your repro project?

Here are the repro steps I used:

1. Launch the app (IsBackButtonVisible is set to False in XAML).
2. Set IsBackButtonVisible to true in C# with the toggle.
3. Click the Back button; it drags the window and no BackRequested event.
4. Click it again; the BackRequested event gets triggered but animation/pressed state is not shown.
5. Maximize the window or toggle on/off again fix it.

In case it's helpful to MS, this seems to have regressed between Experimental3 and Preview1
