No, not really.  What you did was HIDE the problem.  The PROBLEM is that you are simply using the wrong name for that property.  The property name is "Visible" with a capital V, and it always has been.  You have been relying on the case-insensitivity that dynamic dispatch provides.
In my opinion, that's a dangerous practice, and your experience here shows why.
