I am getting these errors. I have read several posts and my TreeViewItem does have Horizontal and VerticalContentAlignment defined. Interestingly compiling in .NET 4.0+ makes the error go away (I use 3.5 - else I suffer from this https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/588343/changed-behaviour-from-net-3-5-to-net-4-0-of-wpf-textbox-formatting-when-proper)

Figured out the answer. I wasn't properly implementing INotifyPropertyChanged in the collection and as a result using CollectionViewSource Refresh to refresh (which resulted in re-draw of the TreevView) which I think must have broken the bindings. Since properly implementing the notification the problem has resolved
