I believe you are describing the native datepicker, I am seeing the same weirdness. Be advised, the calendar polyfilled calendar is only active when a native implementation is not detected, or you force it to be used. This may be a bug in Chrome itself.

Yes you're correct. It's neat that it uses the native datepicker if available, but one area of concern is they use different date input formats. Native forces mm/dd/yyyy while the polyfill suggests yyyy-mm-dd (though it accepts the former format as well).
