I can't vouch for 4.9.8, but I know that in 4.8.x I could not successfully 
use a date widget with an item option without a hack. This is because the 
widget collects and posts the date as mm/dd/yyyy, but internally it expects 
the value to be formatted as yyyymmdd. There is a filter for this 
conversion (I think it is called date_change or date_select) but the 
options code did not automatically employ it anywhere, at least not in 
version 4.8.x. So you may have to roll your own conversions for cart items.
