I've been playing with this setting on the lowest levels and I seem to end up with very few Continental/Marshy planets, a reasonable number of Ocean/Desert planets and plenty of Volcanic/Ice planets.
Not sure if there are supposed to be proportionatly more of the extremer planet types over which this setting is applied or if the setting isn't working correctly?

Yes that is because of the planet quality setting. A continental planet with 90%+ planet quality is worth more than 2 desert planets at 60%+. Easier to defend too.
