I _rarely_ get any (reasonably complicated) decoders/rules working
without tweaks after running log samples through logtest.

I think I misunderstood your question. Whatever is in <extra_data> can
also be found with <match>. So you can either do
<extra_data>301</extra_data> or <match>301</match>. Using the
extra_data tag is a bit stricter.
