--- Comment #2 from acoulton <andrew at ingenerator.com> ---
We have just encountered this in cross-browser testing and were very surprised to see Safari behave this way.

In our case we have an input prompting for an optional expiry date for a record.

On other browsers, the empty input element is visibly "empty".

On Safari, the user has the impression that the field has defaulted to today's date, and there is no way for them to remove this value.

This UX is so confusing that unfortunately we are probably going to have to revert to a javascript-based date field instead of using input[type=date] which is obviously not ideal for anyone.
