_d and _i are different from each other and are not the date I picked

[CJDennis]

This is my control:

<input class="form-control"
       placeholder="Select a date and time"
       moment-picker="hmrCtrl.extra.nextAppointment"
       locale="en-au"
       format="LL, LT"
       min-date="dateOptions.minDate"
       max-date="dateOptions.nextApp"
       ng-model="hmrCtrl.extra.nextAppointment"
       ng-model-options="{ updateOn: 'blur' }">

I picked a date and time in March 2020 and the Moment object hmrCtrl.extra.nextAppointment got set as follows:

Moment {_isAMomentObject: true, _i: Mon May 04 2020 23:59:59 GMT+1000 (Australian Eastern Standard Time), _isUTC: false, _pf: {…}, _locale: Locale, …}
_d: Mon Nov 04 2019 00:00:00 GMT+1100 (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) {}
_i: Mon May 04 2020 23:59:59 GMT+1000 (Australian Eastern Standard Time) {}
...

_d ends up containing the value of min-date and _i ends up containing the value of max-date. hmrCtrl.extra.nextAppointment is initially undefined. The console log has some errors:

angular.js:13920 Error: [ngRepeat:dupes] Duplicates in a repeater are not allowed. Use 'track by' expression to specify unique keys.

I can't use the control again until I delete the date-time string in it because it just says "Invalid date" for every heading. This happens whether I set a default date-time or not. After I delete the first date-time string it works as expected.

How can I fix this error?
