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.
