I think the problem is likely due to using a CDN for the theme -- and
specifically using from a different version than your widgets. I'd
recommend using local resources for this for the time being.

Additionally, I'd recommend using the dojo() view helper to takecare of
the above items. In your bootstrap, after you Dojo-enable the view, do
the following:

Zend_Dojo_View_Helper_Dojo::setUseDeclarative();
$view->dojo()->setLocalPath('/js/dojo-release-1.2.3-src/dojo/dojo.js')
->setDjConfigOption('parseOnLoad', true)
->addStyleSheetModule('dijit.themes.tundra');

Then, in your layout, simply echo the dojo view helper:

<?= $this->dojo() ?>

You'll notice that the configuration does not include specifying a
dojo.require statement for dijit.form.DateTextBox -- this is because
rendering the form will hint to the dojo() view helper to add this.

Let me know if the above makes a difference.
