nativescript vue DatePickerField no v-model support?

Appologies in advance if i'm doing something wrong, found it weird noone else reported this.

Tried all sorts of combinations, binding to a string or a Date() but no luck.

<DatePickerField hint="Birthdate" :minDate="minDate" :maxDate="maxDate" v-model="birthDate" />

export default class About extends Vue {
minDate = new Date("1900-01-01");
maxDate = new Date("2010-01-01");
birthDate = new Date("2000-01-01");
...

An uncaught Exception occurred on "main" thread.
Calling js method onCreateView failed
TypeError: dateTime.getTime is not a function

StackTrace:
formatDateTime(file:///data/data/org.blah/files/app/vendor.js:43966:54)

Thanks,

Start by reproducing the DatePickerField example with the shown Date values and v-model binding, then trace the DatePickerField date handling behind the formatDateTime and getFormattedDate stack frames. Done means the example no longer throws the getTime error and v-model works with the documented date value type.
