That's not what the spec says:

   # If the resulting height is smaller than 'min-height', the rules above are
     applied again, but this time using the value of 'min-height' as the computed
     value for 'height'.

Note that last part.

That's not obvious from the spec, really.

Might want to clarify section 10.7 to make this clearer.  And/or clarify section
10.5 to make it clear that "the height of the generated box's containing block" 
doesn't mean its computed height.
