My reading of the purpose of this setting, I believe, tallies with Thomas's.

If it indicates that matching shall occur only within that match-window, 
and if it does not do that, then that to me is definitely a bug.

What I would expect to happen is that, in common with other parameters
that are taken into account, an exception should occur to warn the user that
the transactions do not match, and give the reason.

The user then has the choice of how to proceed - edit a date, select the
correct 
transactions, abandon the attempted matching, etc.
