I find this behaviour very user friendly :) User has possibility to have part of the field already filled with correct values.
I.e. my country date format is dd/mm/yy, so if I start typing the day, I've already current month and year filled, and in my accounting program is a good help.
If your user has to enter the full date in any case, it does not hurt (values are just overwritten).
Am I missing something?
