The allowed changes for minor releases → does list CSS, markup, or template changes (except for stable base themes) for minor releases. However, the allowed changes for patch releases → states that "non-disruptive bug fixes" are allowed. So, the fixes described in the issue summary would fit within the existing criteria.
An extra sentence could be added to explain that changes to Starterkit are not disruptive. However, Disruptive → is defined later in the document and can be evaluated in any issue or amongst the core committers. Also, there is always tension in such documents to provide both detail and flexibility in interpretation. I would rather leave the policy as is.
