Description of expected behavior and the observed behavior

Expected

When syncing params with the browser location, refreshing the page or sharing the URL should restore those param values.

Observed

Refreshing the page or sharing the URL does not restore param values for dates and ints. It does seem to work for strings and floats.

Editing the URL by changing ?bday="2000-01-01" to ?bday=2000-01-01 lets you share the URL (though the sync on page load immediately changes the URL back).

Complete, minimal, self-contained example code that reproduces the issue

import panel as pn
import panel.widgets as pnw

bday = pnw.DatePicker()
pn.state.location.sync(bday, {"value": "bday"})

@pn.depends(bday)
def summary(bday):
    return f"My birthday is {bday}"

app = pn.Column(bday, summary)
app.servable()
