I did this query (through both martview and martservice):

                        <Filter name = "upstream_flank" value = "300"/>
                </Dataset>
</Query>

When I export TSV, this all works just fine. When I use
formatter="FASTA", though, I get sequences from chromosome Y AND X!
Using MT as the chromosome I get no results, which I think is correct.

It also appears that if I put chrom_start=1300000 and chrom_end=1500000
into the file, I get only Y's (even though there are genes in those
positions on the X).

Any thoughts?

The additional sequences from X are likely to be a part of a PAR region therefore containing duplicates from Y so the data should be actually correct. However it sounds a little bit odd though that they are there with FASTA but not with TSV. We'll look into this and get back to you
