Filtering on partial dates not working

Anyone have any ideas on this? I've had to go back to Date 5.x-1.2 to get this working properly (and it does work there, unlike in 5.x-1.3 with the date api module.)

Okay, this is truly bizarre. I went back to 1.2 and my view started working.

Then I created another content type using the same field definition, and cloned the original view to make the new one. Changed only the content type in the new view. It works for the new content type. But now I view my original view and it has stopped working again! And I made NO changes to THAT view, or the corresponding content type.

Here is my original view:

  $view = new stdClass();
  $view->name = 'promo_current';
  $view->description = 'Current Promotion';
  $view->access = array (
);
  $view->view_args_php = '';
  $view->page = TRUE;
  $view->page_title = 'Current Promotion';
  $view->page_header = '';
  $view->page_header_format = '1';
  $view->page_footer = '';
  $view->page_footer_format = '1';
  $view->page_empty = '<p>No promotion found.</p>';
  $view->page_empty_format = '1';
  $view->page_type = 'list';
  $view->url = 'view/promo/current';
  $view->use_pager = FALSE;
  $view->nodes_per_page = '1';
  $view->block = TRUE;
  $view->block_title = 'Current Promotion';
  $view->block_header = '';
  $view->block_header_format = '1';
  $view->block_footer = '';
  $view->block_footer_format = '1';

  $view->block_use_page_footer = FALSE;
  $view->block_use_page_empty = FALSE;
  $view->sort = array (
    array (
      'tablename' => 'node',
      'field' => 'changed',
      'sortorder' => 'DESC',
      'options' => 'normal',
    ),
  );
  $view->argument = array (
  );
  $view->field = array (

    ),
  );
  $view->filter = array (
    array (

      'field' => 'status',
      'operator' => '=',
      'options' => '',
      'value' => '1',

    ),

  $view->exposed_filter = array (

  $view->requires = array(node, node_data_field_logo_image, node_data_field_promotion_period);
  $views[$view->name] = $view;

Here is the really sketchy part. After I delete the new content type which refers to the same field I'm having problems with in the 5.x-1.3 version, the original view and content type work correctly.

So now I create a new content type with a NEW date field with the same settings. And my original content type and corresponding view are still working correctly.

So in 1.3 filtering on a month/year field doesn't work at all. Whereas in 1.2 it works fine unless you want to use the same field definition in multiple input types, which stops the first one being created from working...

Seems to be working, thank you, you are my heroine. This is pretty much the last issue before I can go live... besides getting off my duff and finishing up the prototype site :)
