TreeTableColumn.visible: the bound value cannot be set

Question

I am making a simple JavaFX application. This app has a three-element column and check box. If checked, column 2 will be visible, otherwise it will not be visible. To do this, I linked the visibility of the column property of the table tree to the selected property. When I click on the state of the checkbox column, but at the same time gives.

Raised: java.lang.RuntimeException: TreeTableColumn.visible: A bound value could not be set.

If I use bi-directional binding, I do not get this error. But I do not need bidirectional binding. Is this a bug, or am I using bindings incorrectly? Please use the code below to reproduce this error. I am using jdk1.8.0_111.

JavaFXApplication.java

package test;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.scene.Parent;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class JavaFXApplication extends Application {

    @Override
    public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
        Parent root = FXMLLoader.load(getClass().getResource("FXMLDocument.fxml"));

        Scene scene = new Scene(root);

        stage.setScene(scene);
        stage.show();
    }

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }

}

FXMLDocumentController.java

package test;

import java.net.URL;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.fxml.Initializable;
import javafx.scene.control.CheckBox;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.control.TreeTableColumn;
import javafx.scene.control.TreeTableView;

public class FXMLDocumentController implements Initializable {

    @FXML
    private TreeTableView<?> table;
    @FXML
    private CheckBox box;
    @FXML
    private TreeTableColumn<?, ?> c2;

    @Override
    public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {
        // TODO
        c2.visibleProperty().bind(box.selectedProperty());
    }    

}
