[Paraview] Changing Chart Series Visibilities from Python

[pat marion]

Thanks Greg.  I can reproduce this.  I'm observing the same thing- if the
chart is created by hand, things are ok, but when created via python
commands, not working correctly.  I'll investigate the problem.  Hopefully
I'll find an easy work around too so that you don't have to wait for the
next release to get the bugfix.
