You know, I totally spaced on something and realized that my bindable variables weren't attached to any object. When I moved the "testPercentage" into a VO, it all works as I'd expect. I guess you can't bind two-way in the way I originally tried.
If you still have some suggestions, or better explanation for what I was doing, feel free to post.
