I'm not sure why that would be considered a bug.  Matching a transaction 18
days away might be correct for you in this situation but might just as
easily be wrong for someone else in a different situation.  When you've got
an unusual situation like that I think you should just fix it maually.
Unless the developers feel like adding complicated customization options to
the transaction matching -- that might be a useful feature request.
