Angular JS with MVC4 model binding failing with date/datetime?

When using Angular JS to post back to the server with a complex object the datetime and datetime? values do not bind correctly. I have tried JSON.stringify to no avail. I have posted a related question though possibly it was too general. What I really need to know is how to correctly pass those dates in. What I am currently doing is using workaround in js to convert the dates but I would rather not do that and simply get the dates in the form I need them when in Angular and then pass back the correct values.

How do you bind to those datetime/datetime? values correctly? Please see the following code example and Fiddler post results.

C# Class:

public class Person
{
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    public DateTime BirthDate { get; set; }
    public DateTime? ApprovedForSomething { get; set; }
}

Angular JS Controller: 

function PersonController($scope, $http) {
    $scope.getPerson = function () {
        $http.get('../../Home/GetPerson/1').success(function (data) {
            $scope.Person = data;
        });
    }
    $scope.updateApprovedForSomething = function () {
        $http.post('../../Home/UpdatePerson', { person: $scope.Person }).success(function (data) {
            console.log(data);
        });
    }
}

Fiddler Post:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK Cache-Control: private Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8 Server: Microsoft-IIS/8.0 X-AspNetMvc-Version: 4.0 X-AspNet-Version: 4.0.30319 X-SourceFiles: =?UTF-8?B?YzpcdXNlcnNcbmlja1xkb2N1bWVudHNcdmlzdWFsIHN0dWRpbyAyMDEyXFByb2plY3RzXFZhbGlkYXRpb25UZXN0XEhvbWVcR2V0UGVyc29uXDE=?= X-Powered-By: ASP.NET Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2013 14:48:34 GMT Content-Length: 124

{"FirstName":"Bob","LastName":"Smith","BirthDate":"/Date(695573315098)/","ApprovedForSomething":"/Date(1358261315098)/"}

This is the result on the server side. The datetime binds to a new datetime value which is not correct and the datetime? is null.

If someone has better solution then please feel free to update the answer.

There might be better solution out there but what I did is very simple workaround. Just create an encapsulation property for DateTime object to string and use that for binding purpose. 

public class Person
{
    public string FirstName { get; set; }
    public string LastName { get; set; }
    public DateTime BirthDate { get; set; }
    public DateTime? ApprovedForSomething { get; set; }
    public DateTime BirthDateAsString 
    {
        get { return BirthDate.ToShortDateString();}
        set { DateTime.Parse(value, BirthDate);}
   }
}

Over http all objects are treated as strings and but ASP.NET is smart enough to provide Model Binding feature. However it is unable to bind the JavaScript Date object to .NET DateTime object.
