I had a very similar problem (validating a string with the format 'd.m.Y 
H.i') and tried to solve it with the new propertyManager like you. After 
adding the empty __construct()-method I got another annoying error: If I 
enter the correct data the propertyManager works fine, but when I enter 
any string that doesn't match that format or just let the form field 
empty I'll get the following exception:
'#1297759968: Exception while property mapping at property path 
"newdate":No converter found which can be used to convert from "string" 
to "DateTime".'
I want extbase to do the default redirect to the preceding action like 
the errorAction does. But with the new propertyMapper enabled the 
process dies before the errorAction is called. I think that happens 
because of the convert()-method in Tx_Extbase_Property_PropertyMapper: 
it throws the following exception:
'throw new Tx_Extbase_Property_Exception('Exception while property 
mapping at property path "' . implode('.', $currentPropertyPath) . '":' 
. $e->getMessage(), 1297759968, $e);'
As far as I see that exception is catched nowhere. Am I wrong or is the 
new propertyMapper supposed to work on this way? If I am right, has 
someone a solution for this problem?

Kind regards,
