Description
### Describe the bug
If I have a `Border` painted with `ImageBrush`
```xml
```
It no longer shows after I set its `Opacity` to `1` in code-behind
```cpp
MyImage().Opacity(1);
```
If you give `Opacity` an initial value to something non-zero, like `0.5`, it behaves as expected.
### Why is this important?
This is blocking my project
### Steps to reproduce the bug
1. Create a winui3 C++ project
2. In `MainWindow.xaml`
```xml
Opacity set
```
3. In code-behind
```cpp
void winrt::WinUI3Cpp::implementation::MainWindow::Button_Click(winrt::Windows::Foundation::IInspectable const& sender, winrt::Microsoft::UI::Xaml::RoutedEventArgs const& e)
{
MyImage().Opacity(1);
}
```
4. Run project, click the button, the image is not shown
### Actual behavior
_No response_
### Expected behavior
The image should show after setting its opacity to non-zero
### Screenshots
_No response_
### NuGet package version
WinUI 3 - Windows App SDK 1.7.3: 1.7.250606001
### Windows version
Windows 11 (23H2): Build 22631
### Additional context
This issue does NOT happen with a regular `Image` control
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue using MainWindow.xaml and the Button_Click code-behind entry point, starting with the Border/ImageBrush case described in the report. Compare it with the regular Image control behavior; done means the image renders after Opacity changes from its initial value of 0 to 1.
