Description
### Describe the bug
While testing the official CommunityToolkit Gallery sample for HeaderedTreeView with DataTable, I noticed that some child rows are rendered as blank (white) rows.
This happens without modifying the sample code.
### Steps to reproduce
```text
1. Run official CommunityToolkit Gallery Application.
2. Open the DataTable + TreeView (Test) sample.
3. Expand and collapse different TreeView nodes repeatedly.
4. Continue interacting with the TreeView for some time.
5. Occasionally, some child rows are displayed as blank (white) rows instead of their content.
```
### Expected behavior
All child items should render correctly every time, regardless of how many times the nodes are expanded or collapsed.

### Additional context
- The issue is intermittent.
- It seems to occur only after repeated expand/collapse operations.
- The underlying data is still present, but some rows are rendered as blank.
- This appears to be a rendering or virtualization issue rather than a data-binding issue.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by running the official CommunityToolkit Gallery DataTable + TreeView test sample on WinAppSDK/WinUI 3 and reproduce the blank child rows through repeated expand/collapse operations. Trace the HeaderedTreeView and DataTable rendering or virtualization behavior, then verify that every child row still displays its content after repeated interaction.
