Just got up. In the end I think Injera's claim doesn't tell us whether or not Matt is guilty.
Let me break this down.
Well, if Mattimeo is a villager and we lynch him then Injera is dead tonight no matter what we do, (Unless Injera is a wolf). If Matt is who he says he is then not lynching him and having him protect Injera, keeps Injera alive and possibly kills Mattimeo, but then we were going to lynch him anyway so I guess that's helpful. If we try to set up a test in which Matt cloaks Injera and Injera scans him we might find out the truth but lose Matt in the process.
Well before Injera claimed we had decided to wait on Mattimeo anyway. Considering that our tracker just put himself in the danger zone now lynching the claimed "cloaker" seems like a bad choice. If Matt IS a wolf then either Injera's going to die tonight or the wolves are going to avoid killing him to make Matt look good. If Matt is a villager he can at least protect Injera tonight or die in the process. Either way, keeping Mattimeo alive today gives us the highest chance of keeping Injera alive another night to track whomever he wants, be it Mattimeo or some other hunch.
tl;dr : Now that Injera has claimed, lynching Mattimeo is actually the stupidest thing to do. Or the scumiest. Catwalk.
