Workaround
Modify a layer in the web map by changing the transparency (and then changing it back to 100%) which adds the layers attribute to the WebMap JSON and forces the JavaScript WebMap class to respect the visibleLayers attribute.
For example, see the following WebMap JSON by replacing the ID in: https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/content/items/6a98eb44a463454eb17d3ed2b312bcc8/data?f=pjson
