New DateTimePicker selects current date, but not current time

[hlship]

When you click into a datetimepicker field that is blank, it brings up the calendar panel and displays the current date, but the time is set to "12:00 pm".

I have rather complex initialization code, as I have implemented it as a Tapestry component for selecting both dates and date/times.

    var $field = $("#" + spec.id);
    var $container = $field.parent(".input-append");
    var $hidden = $container.find("input[type=hidden]");

    var initialUTC = $hidden.val();

    var initialDate = initialUTC === "" ? null : new Date(parseInt(initialUTC));

    var picker = $field[spec.time ? "datetimepicker" : "datepicker"];

    var options = {
      dateFormat: "mm/dd/yy",
      changeMonth: spec.distant,
      changeYear: spec.distant,
      onClose: function (dateStr) {
        var date = picker.call($field, "getDate");
        $hidden.val(date == null ? "" : date.getTime());
      }
    };

    if (spec.min) {
      options.minDate = new Date(spec.min);
    }

    if (spec.max) {
      options.maxDate = new Date(spec.max);
    }


    if (spec.time) {
      _.extend(options, {
        dateTimeFormat: "mm/dd/yy hh:mm tt",
        ampm: true,
        showButtonPanel: true,
        defaultDate : new Date()
      });
    }

    picker.call($field, options);

    if (initialDate) {
      picker.call($field, "setDate", initialDate);
    }

    // If Tapestry autofocuses on a field, the widget isn't displayed. This
    // checks at page load if the field is focused, and shows the correct
    // picker.
    $(function () {
      if (document.activeElement == $field[0]) {
        $field[spec.time ? "datetimepicker" : "datepicker"]("show");
      }
    });

    $container.find(".add-on").click(function () {
      $field.focus();
    })
  }

However, I think you can pick out how options is constructed and passed to $.fn.datetimepicker(). I would expect that clicking on the field would use the defaultDate, including the time portion.
