and KNEW HER NOT TILL she had brought forth her firstborn son; and she called his name Jesus.
Till does not indicate a change in behavior...

un·til
prep.
Up to the time of: We danced until dawn.
Before (a specified time): She can't leave until Friday.
Scots. Unto; to.
conj.
Up to the time that: We walked until it got dark.
Before: You cannot leave until your work is finished.
To the point or extent that: I talked until I was hoarse.
Till is the original form of until, so the definitions are the same. I do not have my Greek interlinear or gloss with me, and am too lazy to run upstairs to get it:) At any rate, I see "knew her not till" as implying that Joseph "did not know her" until after she had brought forth her son- why would such a phrase be included if he did not "know her" afterwards? It seems terribly straightforward to me.
