I found one message board in French that made reference to Base and 1/1/1800. Based on the Google translation, I don't think it's the same issue, but it wasn't quite clear. The only suggestion I could make out from it that might was to change the date format to yyyy-mm-dd before going to form view. Again, I don't think it's the same thing as the OP was talking about an error message "value 0000-00-00 cannot be represented as java.sql.Date" and you don't seem to be seeing that error.
ETA: Hmm, further reading on that board seems to indicate that "1/1/1800" might mean it thinks it's looking at a value of "null" for a date. The 0000-00-00 and error message seem specific to converting from sql to base, but the "solution" seems to be to tell base to read "0000-00-00" (and otherwise invalid date value in base) as a NULL, which it then displays as 1/1/1800. No idea if any of that helps your situation though.
Here's the link I'm gleaning this from.
