Thanks for reporting!
It is kind of expected from the manual explanation about tag matchers:
• If the comparison value is enclosed in double-quotes _and_ angular
brackets (like ‘DEADLINE<="<2008-12-24 18:30>"’), both values are
assumed to be date/time specifications in the standard Org way...
However, the heuristics described in the manual is obvious wrong here.
I improved the match parser a bit to require a number inside brackets in
timestamps, but this whole syntax is overcomplicated and difficult to
understand.
In any case, your bug should be fixed now on main.
