Seems like this is a known issue described here:

And, of course, Google has done nothing

The described work-around doesn't work as-is for us because we dynamically 
create the DatePicker object.

But we hack the Date Picker already to show and hide the day and month 
spinners, so perhaps we can do something similar to coerce it to apply sane 
start/end date limits?
