Uh, no it doesn't allow for this?  Copy and paste from the link you give
delivers

\tempo 4 = 40 - 46

which is different.

convert-ly would have covered for this (it's in 2.17.25), and it is
mentioned in <URL:http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/changes/>

as

Tempo change ranges are now written as \tempo 4 = 60 - 68 rather than
\tempo 4 = 60 ~ 68.

That syntax change is part of
<URL:http://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=3487> and
mentioned prominently.

If you find any part of the documentation which refers to the old
syntax, feel free to point it out.  But so far, I consider the change
covered properly.
