WPF RadioButton selected in UI, but seen by code as IsChecked == false

Question

I have some radio buttons in a group box. I select the buttons randomly, and all works perfectly from a visual standpoint and also the event handler is called each time a new button is selected.

Now I have a dependency property with a callback when the value changes. When in this callback procedure I read the IsChecked value of any button, the value is False, in spite the button is visually selected (they are all false at the same time, strange). The debugger also displays all buttons unchecked.

Hu hu, I'm lacking ideas about the reason, after the basic verifications...

<GroupBox>
    <StackPanel>
        <RadioButton x:Name="btNone"
            Content="Disconnected"
            IsChecked="True"
            Checked="OnSelChecked"/>
        <RadioButton x:Name="btManual"
            Content="Manual"
            Checked="OnSelChecked"/>
    </StackPanel>
</GroupBox>

Event handler:

private void OnSelChecked(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {
    if (btManual.IsChecked == true) {
        // is called
    }
}

Dependency property:

public static readonly DependencyProperty ManualProperty =
            DependencyProperty.Register("Manual",
            typeof(Position), typeof(SwitchBox),
            new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(null,
                FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.AffectsRender,
                new PropertyChangedCallback(OnManualChanged)));

Dependency property callback:

private static void OnManualChanged(DependencyObject sender, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs args) {
    SwitchBox box = sender as SwitchBox;
    if (box.btManual.IsChecked == true) {
        // never true, why??
    }
}

Hum, logic is intact!

I was using two different instances of SwitchBox, one had been created normally by XAML, and displayed the actual status of the buttons. However it was a second created by code (and left unchanged) that was accessed by the dependency property callback. Thus the unselected radio buttons.
