Custom Template for ComboBox ignores use of DisplayMemberPath

So I've gone through several questions on the site, and I cannot seem to find the answer.

I have a ComboBox. It was working just fine. I decide I need to overhaul the appearance, so I create a copy of the default ComboBox template (this is a straight copy, no modifications):

<ControlTemplate x:Key="ComboBoxControlTemplate2" TargetType="{x:Type ComboBox}">
            <Grid x:Name="MainGrid" SnapsToDevicePixels="True">
                <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
                    <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>

                            <ScrollViewer x:Name="DropDownScrollViewer">
                                <Grid RenderOptions.ClearTypeHint="Enabled">
                                    <Canvas HorizontalAlignment="Left" Height="0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="0">
                                        <Rectangle x:Name="OpaqueRect" Fill="{Binding Background, ElementName=DropDownBorder}" Height="{Binding ActualHeight, ElementName=DropDownBorder}" Width="{Binding Actua
