For everyone else's benefit:
The magic bit of missing code was
root.find(".datepicker").removeClass('hasDatepicker').datepicker({
showOn: 'focus',
showButtonPanel: true
});
When I was cloning the datepicker my cloned item already had the
marker CSS class hasDatepicker, so it wasn't properly intializing the
clone since it appeared to be already initialized. Now I'm just
removing the marker class from the cloned item before initializing and
everything works great.
Thanks,
Jason
