Even though this is a bit more complicated, it does seem to work correctly.
SELECT t1.realdate1,
t2.realdate2
from test_table_1 t1 left outer join test_table_2 t2 where
strftime ('%s', t2.realdate2) between strftime ('%s',
datetime(t1.realdate1, '-1 minutes') ) and strftime ('%s',
datetime(t1.realdate1, '+1 minutes') )
I guess there are parts of SQLite that work better in different usages.

Richard,
What you suggested sort of worked. The problem was that the two dates I were
comparing were only 1 minute apart, but I had to put in '-1000 minutes' and
'+1000 minutes' to get the test to work.
My two data values are;
2009-04-13T12:19:00.0000000
and
2009-04-13T12:18:00.0000000

You left out the '%s' on the second two strftime() calls....
I think the following will likely run faster if you have an index on
table2.dateitem2:
SELECT ... FROM table1 AS t1 LEFT JOIN table2 AS t2
WHERE t2.dateitem2 BETWEEN datetime(t1.dateitem1, '-10 minutes') AND
datetime(t1.dateitem1,'+10 minutes');
