Research direction
The issue provides a StackBlitz reproduction (https://stackblitz.com/angular/kbyqgkdyyjo?file=app%2Fdatepicker moment example.ts) showing the DatePicker not displaying the initial value when using MomentAdapter. Investigate the MomentAdapter implementation in the Angular Material source to identify why the initial value binding fails. Compare with the working example on the official documentation site to spot differences. Look for any recent changes to the datepicker or MomentAdapter that may have caused the regression.
