It's validated in javascript when the field loses focus and checked  
again when the event is saved. If the form field is not parse-able  
into a date value, the event is not allowed to be saved. I just tested  
this again on the demo site at demo.horde.org and it works as expected.

Do you see any javascript errors?

It's a datetime value.
