date-time-picker: Only on production environment the input click generates an error

Everything on development works just the way it should. On the click event the calendar is shown and enables me to pick a date. When serving on production mode with angular-cli, with ng serve --prod, clicking on the input throws an error in the console that looks like the one in the attachment.

<input mdInput class="picker-input" [ngModel]="transactionForm.date | date: 'short'" required="true" [(dateTimePicker)]="transactionForm.date" placeholder="Date" dividerColor="none" readonly [theme]="'green'" [locale]="'ro'">

So here is the console error that I receive:

I can see that is something related to AOT and the fact that the dialog creation is created in a dynamic way. Please help me with some suggestions or maybe this is actually a bug. I also provided the package.json dependencies so that you can see what versions I am using. Sorry for the long issue. Hope this helps. Thanks in advance.
