mdDatepicker validation problem when manually editing date in IE11

[jltrem]

When manually editing a date the value is always shown as invalid in IE11. This is apparent in the official demo at https://material.angularjs.org/latest/demo/datepicker. Manually change the date from today to tomorrow (not using the dropdown calendar) reproduces the problem. I've also created a codepen at http://codepen.io/jltrem/pen/RaZMde.

Working in Chrome & FF.
Problem exists in IE 11 on Win7 using Angular v1.4.9 and A.Material v1.0.5.

This is because your default locale format can't be parsed by the Date constructor. We have a PR to address this at #8162. Until this gets merged you can override the validation function on the $mdDateLocaleProvider and do the validation yourself.

You can read more about it in the docs.
