I ran into this problem, too, and discovered that it was reported
upstream as Buzilla Bug #1275 "Config parsing (parse_time) in Host:
context acts globally":
   https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1275

That bug is marked "FIXED", and the release notes for the upstream
OpenSSH 4.6
   http://www.openssh.com/txt/release-4.6
includes this comment:

      - Parsing of time values in Match blocks was incorrectly applied
        to the global configuration (bugzilla #1275)

, so presumably this bug is resolved as of that version.

(However, I am not running Lenny yet so I am not able to confirm this
with an actual test.)
