I've found it it depends on your other lands. For instance, if I create one land and then another and set min_placement_distance 100, the land with that perpetually spawns at the center; probably some bugginess going on if it can't place it anywhere else. Whereas if I don't have that land, it will spawn randomly.
It seems to me that this is the minimum placement distance from other lands as measured by the center of the lands.
We already have a similar command for this; other_zone_avoidance_distance X, except that this ensures that there will always be X tiles between the two zones (of course you need to specify zone A and zone B for the two lands)
So with that in mind it seems quite useless, as while it enforces a distance from the center of the land, that's not very useful as the center of a land is not usually obviously defined, whereas the edge of a land is reasonably easy to spot if you use other_zone_avoidance_distance .
