Chrome has the same issue and they have a minimized testcase availible :
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=2161

quoted from there :
"In this case, Chrome/Firefox can't match regular expression with the string correctly in the second call of javascript method "jsfGetFormDate". If there is only one call of it, then it will get the correct match result always."
