Format issue for Number field in af:query. Is it an ADF Bug?

Question

Hi OTN,
Requirement : Format DepartmentId in query panel
I have created a view criteria from Employees table (HR Schema). I have four view criteria items called EmployeeId, DepartmentId, Firstname, LastName and all the items having validation property as Selectively Required. DepartmentId attribute have UI Hints property as Format Type = Number and Format = *0000* and Auto Submit=true.
But in UI, I am not able to do search from af:Query panel. It works fine without setting UI Hints property Format Type* and Format
Step 1 : Enter 123 in DepartmentId field
Step 2 : Click Search Button
Error : Please provide a value for atleast one of the indicated fields
Error Screen : http://www.freeimagehosting.net/24d51
Please check the below link for downloading the sample application

Note:
JDev Version : 11.1.1.5.0
I am using ADF BC and ADF Faces Components
Any recommendations fully appreciated
Thanks,
Dinil Mithra
