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.
