Well there is no functionality missing in the way it was implemented but it IS ugly. And it cost me a couple hours of head scratching and digging to figure out how to set up a DatePicker after having successfully set up a TimePicker using setOnTimeChangedListener. As to making the change myself, I 't have no experience submitting patches and don't know what it means to star an issue. And since I have working code I will probably do what everyone else has done and forget about it. But maybe in the interest of design consistency and aesthetics, Google will dedicate the 15 minutes it would take to implement DatePicker.setOnDateChangedListener(...). They do have a well-tested model to work from, after all.
