I've tried using getVisible callbacks to return true, but even when calling Invalidate() the getVisible callback is only called once when the original protected document is opened.

The initial callback to get the ribbon XML is called only once and never again when the document is unprotected. I've tried calling Invalidate() as well as InvalidateControl() but that doesn't help.
