BTW the new step will produce wrong results because auto != min-content
for min track sizing functions. There was a rule that specifies which
tracks to grow beyond limits when dealing with min-content base sizes.
Before this new value of "auto", the auto tracks were selected to grow
beyond limits (as auto was minmax(min-content,max-content) but now
they're excluded.

My proposal to keep compatibility with the current behavior is to replace:

  "when handling min-content base sizes:"

by

  "when handling min-content or auto base sizes:"
