Short description of error
Viewports and Render Checkbox reverses the value of its driver.
if driver outputs False, it checks and displays.
if true, not checked and not displayed.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Select default square. under Object Properties> Visibility if you add a driver that outputs a bool to these values. the result will be the opposite.
I tested this further by inputting just False into the expression area of the visibility driver. The checkbox was checked and the object remained visible. this is true for the Renders Checkbox as well.
The Holdout Checkbox is fine though and Selectable doesn't allow me to add a driver so i couldn't test that.

I understand that this is confusing, but this is expected as far as I can see. Because when you add a driver, you add it to the property itself, not the checkbox where it is drawn. The properties in question are hide_viewport and hide_render, those properties are drawn "inverted", so when their values are False, they are drawn as checked. Hence the confusion.
