Works fine for me, currently only on XP too.

But it still does not set the date if the calendar window is never opened. I
fixed that by changing the code of getDate():

	public Calendar getDate() {
		checkWidget();
		if (!isReadOnly){
			setDateBasedOnComboText();
		}
		return mSetDate;
	}

Calling setDateBasedOnComboText does it for me.
