Editor window unusable in IE if a <gmd:Date> is empty

[landry]

Using IE9, if the XML contains smth like

<gmx:editionDate><gmd:Date/></gmx:editionDate>
}}} (for a thesaurus keyword)

then ext-ux DateTime component barfs on
{{{
web-client/src/main/resources/apps/js/ext-ux/DateTime/DateTime.js:            this.dateValue = new 
                  Date(Ext.isIE ? val.getTime() : val);
}}}

probably because val is undefined....

The js error makes the toolbar inactive, so editing a MD is not possible. Experienced on 2.8.x and master.

The problem comes from val.getTime which is undefined. Not sure why.

this.dateValue = new Date(Ext.isIE && val.getTime ? val.getTime() : val);

Any better fix ?
