I'd call it a bug.
Steven, at minimum, it's probably worth opening a JIRA issue on this.
Ideally you'd submit a patch to allow a converter to be specified.

Just looked at the code, the tomahawk input date renderer does not use
the converter from the component in the 1.1.5 source. From
HtmlDateRenderer:
public Object getConvertedValue(FacesContext context, UIComponent
uiComponent, Object submittedValue) throws ConverterException {
UserData userData = (UserData) submittedValue;
try {
return userData.parse();
} catch (ParseException e) {
Object[] args = {uiComponent.getId()};
throw new
ConverterException(MessageUtils.getMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR,
DATE_MESSAGE_ID, args));
}
}
Either a bug or a short-coming. I would recommend reporting a new
issue or feature request and then sub-classing the renderer yourself
to add support. The one trick to this is that the submitted value is
not a string as with other UIInput components that I have seen, so it
doesn't look as simplistic to override. You will have to work with
UserData and either sub-class it or update its values in the
converter.
