Well, I tried it out, and it seems that Chandler 0.6 does NOT include DTSTART 
in its COUNT if DTSTART does not match the rule: Importing an event with
  RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;COUNT=3;BYDAY=TU,TH
  DTSTART:20061009T070000Z
(where the DTSTART is a monday and thus does not match the rule) results in 
the event appearing on Oct 9, Oct 10, Oct 12 and Oct 17.

Chandler 0.7.1 simply ignores the DTSTART if it doesn't match the rule:
  RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;COUNT=3;BYDAY=TU,TH
  DTSTART:20061009T070000Z
appears only on Tue Oct 10, Thu Oct 12 and Tue Oct 17 (but not on Oct 9).

Cheers,
Reinhold
