Issues when using 'Get-PWDocumentsBySearchExtended' cmdlet

Question

I've been trying to use the following code to find documents that have the status of CheckedOut in ProjectWise. Then I would like to find those documents that have been checked out for an extended period of time and (say over 7 days since checkout) and generate a report, but have experienced a few issues. 
 # Browse to a folder
 $folder = Show-PWFolderBrowserDialog

# Return Documents that are checked out
 Get-PWDocumentsBySearchExtended -FolderPath $folder.FullPath -Status CheckedOut 
 Issues: 
 
 Dates for DocumentCheckOutDate and StatusChangeDate are not populating correctly and are showing as "01/01/0001 00:00:00" 
 This issue with the dates seems to be present within the Get-PWDocumentsBySearch cmdlet also. 
 Having specified the Status parameter as CheckedOut , it returns documents where the status is either CheckedOut or Exported . (This issue is relatively easy to work around, but included here in case there is an easy solution to fix it within the module).

I found that if you use the Get-PWDocumentsByGUIDs or Get-PWDocumentsBySearch with the - Slow switch, the StatusChangeDate will populate correctly. However, the DocumentCheckOutDate never returns the correct date.
