Bindings do not update when a purely JS variable changes, it can only
respond to changes in QML properties. You could bind to something like
stateObject.value, and still be able to use
JS.setValue(stateObject.value + 1) if you wanted. But without going
through C++ though you couldn't make stateObject.value read-only to
everything but the setValue function.
This is more of a bug than a feature, and support for reevaluating
bindings to JS objects is planned for an unknown future release.
If you want to force a re-evaluation from C++, you can always expose a
C++ property of "forceUpdate", rewrite your expressions to be
"forceUpdate + JS.setValue(...);", and emit the notify signal for
forceUpdate;
