I don't do DON's, but I see another advantage you don't specifically mention with the min-raise. When you have 2 large stacks against a bunch of small guys, you're telling the small guys "piss off, I'll call your shove", while telling the other bigstack "I've got a hand, are you sure you wanna tango?" In the case of another bigstack that calls or re-raises, you've controlled the size of the pot or the size of the bet you're giving up.
Considering how many horrible SNG players understand this as a bigstack on the bubble, I would expect decent DON players with a bigstack to pick their spots carefully.
It's also probably going to mess with your opponent's head when you have your typical raise round after round and suddenly you pop in a min-raise 50 hands into the game.
