I think it's the opposite actually - making some values need special handling is usually what complicates implementations. It's also harder to spec, and for authors to learn, a bunch of special rules for a _subset_ of a property's values rather than having the property behave in a uniform way for all its values.
These new math `display` values should apply to all (pseudo-)elements exactly the same as other `display` values. So, `<math>` is from a box construction point of view exactly the same as `<div style="display:math">`, and conversely, `<math style="display:block">` is exactly the same as a plain `<div>`. The UA sheet should have a `math { display: math }` rule that the author can override as they see fit (same as we do for `<ruby>`).
