This bug prevents the binding of the TabViewItem's properties to the underlying view-model. For example, the following code won't work:
<telerik:RadTabView x:Name="tabView">
<telerik:TabViewItem HeaderText="{Binding SomeHeaderText}"
ImageSource="{Binding SomeImageSource}">
</telerik:TabViewItem>
</telerik:RadTabView>
As a temporary workaround, the BindingContext can be propagated manually instead:
<telerik:RadTabView x:Name="tabView">
<telerik:TabViewItem BindingContext="{Binding BindingContext, Source={x:Reference tabView}}"
HeaderText="{Binding SomeHeaderText}"
ImageSource="{Binding SomeImageSource}">
</telerik:TabViewItem>
</telerik:RadTabView>
