That's right, I've fixed this now, so the next release won't allow
external port range/local port combinations that cause the local end
port to exceed 65535 anymore (error). Thanks for reporting this!

Yes, that's the case, and I think it's not so strange at all. You
wouldn't usually want to map a range of external ports to a single
internal port. The hint text for "local port" explains what happens
with port ranges quite well, and this is the same behavior as in the
majority of commercial firewall products anyway.
