This sounds to me more like a shortcoming of the spec than of Chrome's implementation of the spec.
Nothing in the spec suggests that the purpose of min/max/ideal was to discover native modes, even if it was the original motivation at some point.
If this is indeed important (which is not entirely clear to me, since I'm not aware of any user filing a bug for this in Chrome) then let's continue the discussion in #472 and just fix the spec.
