In first place match transform will only match the values without forcing that object to preserve them; if you have something else, constraints or keys, those will refresh it to that, so there'd be no point to using it in that case. Second, IK is an op that always has precedence trying to re-interpolate, so it's only normal if in a long chain something affects those derived values rederivating them (assuming IK is on) can mess it up. Third, why the hell are you applying constraints to bones?! :) Fourth, it used to, and possibly still does, apply and remove a pose constrain under the hood to match transforms, that conflicted with other parts of the graph operating on it in the past when cnsComp was on.
Summary: Match transform is far from perfect, but you're probably doing it wrong :) Addendum: write a one line command that gets the transform from an object (kine.global.transformt.get2()) and sets it to another's.
