Not really, but a bit strange maybe.  kill-matching-buffers-no-ask calls
kill-matching-buffers with no-ask arg set to t.  That results in buffers
being killed with kill-buffer instead of kill-buffer-ask.  The latter
would require confirmation for any buffer to be killed.

However, kill-buffer itself will query anyhow in certain cases,
especially when you have unsaved changes in the buffer which you
probably have.

So it depends on how one interprets "no-ask".  The current
interpretation seems to be "don't ask unless you might lose data" in
contrast to "never" which you seem to expect.
