I did figure this out and meant to follow up.

As far as documentation, in the infodoc under "7.5.3 Capturing column
view", we have this:

    ‘:match’
         When set to a string, use this as a tags/property match filter to
         select only a subset of the headlines in the scope set by the ‘:id’
         parameter.

And, under "8.4.2 The clock table":

    ‘:match’
         A tags match to select entries that should contribute.  See *note
         Matching tags and properties:: for the match syntax.

I'm looking through "11.3.3 Matching tags and properties" and the only
reference there to double-quotes is this:

   • If the comparison value is enclosed in double-quotes, a string
     comparison is done, and the same operators are allowed.

and

   • 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, and
     the comparison is done accordingly.  Valid values also include
     ‘"<now>"’ for now (including time), ‘"<today>"’, and ‘"<tomorrow>"’
     for these days at 0:00 hours, i.e., without a time specification.
     You can also use strings like ‘"<+5d>"’ or ‘"<-2m>"’ with units
     ‘d’, ‘w’, ‘m’, and ‘y’ for day, week, month, and year,
     respectively.

So, I think there is a lack of clarity in the documentation.
