I just checked and Visibility works fine for me with the same build.
But I checked a bit further and it does seem a bit flaky. The Absolute
checkbox behaves strangely, if you check it in one object it is
displayed selected in all objects and groups. Then if you unselect it,
it is displayed un-selected in all objects and groups.
If you have a hierarchy the Absolute value seems to be taken from the
one immediately above.

If you have Global Visibility 10 and

Group1 -- Group2 -- Object 
Visibility: 10 -- 4 -- 3 
If Group2 is set to not Absolute i.e. 14. Then no mater what you do to
the Object it will not be visible. (If you know what I mean) So what
you described is confirmed. I think?
I have not used visibility very much since Layers was introduced. My
MorayStart.mdl has an invisible layer.
