Thanks Andrew, this is a step forward.

It is a user visible change, but I can't imagine it will break
anyone's work flow or catch anyone by surprise - it instead removes an
unpleasant surprise for anyone who discovers the increments dialog and
expects it to work.

Longer term I'd personally prefer G and Shift-G to cycle through a set
of user defined grids.  I typically use a non-linear set of grids like
0.02mm, 0.04mm, 0.1mm and 0.5mm.  Linear increment +linear decrement
is a very blunt tool for moving through a set like that.
