I have the same problem. The date always defaults to the start date even though a specific relative default date is set.

Same problem. On a nearly clean installation, just for some site buliding purposes, the default value doesn't work.
I also tried different date-field types, different widgets and different default values, also in the latest dev - it just keeps the empty input fields.

Try to set #default_value in this format: date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $your_optional_timestamp) even if #date_format is different.
It worked for me.

Where to write that string??

Why shouldn't it work if set in Field UI when creating the field on the content type?
