Description
When showing multiple months and the current month is not displayed first (e.g. because of maxDate: 0), the user needs to click the previous button multiple times in order to see any effect.
In this example 3 clicks are needed https://jsfiddle.net/m3528fdb/, which makes the button seem broken initially. The number of required clicks depends on the values for stepMonths and maxDate.

Research direction
Start with the datepicker entry point and reproduce the three-month example from the linked JSFiddle, using multiple months with maxDate and stepMonths. Trace the previous-button behavior when the current month is not first; done means the first click produces a visible previous-month effect without requiring extra clicks.
