Dashboard fails to load activity-streams plugin correctly

This issue is a clone of STRM-207 and has been create for reference purposes.
STRM-207 seems unrelated to this, so a copy has been made at https://ecosystem.atlassian.net/browse/STRM-2172

The activity stream fails to load intermittently, but very regularly for some customers, and hangs showing the progress bar.

This is the result of a java script error:

B.getTime is not a function

We have multiple customers reporting problems with this gadget and perhaps we should look into investigate on the problem.
