I would even think the same should apply to match play: when you win more points than you need to reach the score limit (e.g. you win 4 points being at -2), gnubg should award you only the points you need (2).
If you lead 20-1 in a 21 points match and you win simple with the cube at 2, gnubg should shoud that you won 1 point and the match ends at 21-1 instead of showing that you won 2 points ending the match at 22-1 (which I think is the case now).
