"Pass along entire track" was unchecked. Apparently, "calculate first and last route segment" was unchecked too, which is why Osmand wasn't navigating toward the GPX track but just drawing a lazy straight line. You may want to think of a better name for the latter option. I am pretty sure no user can understand what it means from its name. And if it is cryptic then it might at least be shorter!
