jQuery UI datepicker - minDate and setDate issue

I have a strange issue with the jQuery UI datepicker. This is the questionable code:

$('#cal').datepicker();
d = new Date('07/05/2013');
$('#cal').datepicker('option','minDate',d);
d.setDate(10);
$('#cal').datepicker('setDate',d);

This should set the min date to July 5 and the selected date to July 10. However, both the min date and the selected date are being set to July 10. Why is this? jsbin demo
Note: I know I can get around this by creating two date objects, but I want to understand why this happens.

You're updating the same object 'd'. So you're setting both dates to the same object which is set to 10.

You should instead do something like:

$('#cal').datepicker('option','minDate', new Date('07/05/2013'));
$('#cal').datepicker('setDate', new Date('07/10/2013'));
