How to get the value from TextItem?

[shortpasta]

TextItem.getValue () seems to always return whatever was set via TextItem.setValue ().
TextItem.getDisplayValue () seems to return what the user sees on the screen...

So what method should I use to get the value from a TextItem?
And if anybody cares to explain, why the current behavior?

SmartGWT or SmartClient version and browser version(s) involved;
SmartGWT 2.3-2010-09-30
Gwt 2.0.3

Chrome 7.0.517.24

public class TextItemGetValueReturnsNull implements EntryPoint {

  /**
   * The EntryPoint interface
   */
  public void onModuleLoad () {

    // create a TextItem with an initial value set
    final FormItem textItem1 = new TextItem ();
    textItem1.setTitle ("TextItem1");
    textItem1.setValue ("111");
    
    // create a TextItem with an initial value NOT set
    final FormItem textItem2 = new TextItem ();
    textItem2.setTitle ("TextItem2");
    
    // create a TextItem with an initial value set and cleared to fool the underlying library
    final FormItem textItem3 = new TextItem ();
    textItem3.setTitle ("TextItem3");
    textItem3.setValue ("test");
    textItem3.setValue ("");

    // load form
    final DynamicForm form = new DynamicForm ();
    form.setFields (
      textItem1,
      textItem2,
      textItem3);

    // Login button
    final IButton button = new IButton ();
    button.setAutoFit (true);
    button.setTitle ("Test");
    button.addClickHandler (new com.smartgwt.client.widgets.events.ClickHandler () {
      public void onClick (final com.smartgwt.client.widgets.events.ClickEvent event) {
        
        // log info about form elements
        GWT.log ("textItem1.getValue (): " + textItem1.getValue ());
        GWT.log ("textItem1.getDisplayValue (): " + textItem1.getDisplayValue ());
        GWT.log ("textItem1: " + textItem1);
        GWT.log ("");
        GWT.log ("textItem2.getValue (): " + textItem2.getValue ());
        GWT.log ("textItem2.getDisplayValue (): " + textItem2.getDisplayValue ());
        GWT.log ("textItem2: " + textItem2);
        GWT.log ("");
        GWT.log ("textItem3.getValue (): " + textItem3.getValue ());
        GWT.log ("textItem3.getDisplayValue (): " + textItem3.getDisplayValue ());
        GWT.log ("textItem3: " + textItem3);
      }
    });

    // display
    final VLayout layout = new VLayout ();
    layout.setWidth100 ();
    layout.setHeight100 ();
    layout.addMember (form);
    layout.addMember (button);
    layout.draw ();
  }
}
