Hmmm. Okay, thinking out loud here. I presume that the only significant difference between implementing these UIBarButtonItems initially and the remove/re-add sequences is that the view is already visible when you re-add them. (I.e., if you setTitleTextAttributes:forState: in viewWillAppear:, then the view has not yet been drawn…)
I've seen some situations before which seem like they might be analogous. In those cases, there was some sort of animation or other asynchronous behavior going on. If this is happening in your case, then your setTitleTextAttributes:forState: call (on re-adding the UIBarButtonItem) might be happening too early. Support you try this: add the UIBarButtonItem in it's enabled state. Then in a dispatch_after (or however you prefer to implement a deferred execution block), call setTitleTextAttribute:forState: for the disabled state and then disable the control. This idea here is for the text attribute for the disabled state to be set after any animations, etc. have completed.
