Actually, it does allow that, as can be seen with some other fonts. The 
issue with Lucida Console is that it does not have a bold weight, so 
there is only the Normal (400) weight which is then selected by the new 
font weight tweaking algorithm.

This is obviously inconsistent with the behaviour of mapping 700 to Normal.
