This is one area where Motif's convenience routines are *ahem*
nonideal.  It turns out there are separate routines for gadgets:
XmToggleButtonGadget[Get/Set]State.  The convenience routines
bypass the intrinsics Get/SetValues mechanism.  I'd suggest you
just use Xt[Set/Get]Values to set or retrieve the state.  
The convenience routine is no easier.

Haven't seen this one.  What system?
