CSS hyphens:auto not recognised as valid property value

Reported by matthias...@gmail.com, Apr 13 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/57.0.2987.133 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. open your own sample page https://googlechrome.github.io/samples/css-hyphens/
2. resize the window to a lower width

What is the expected behavior?
words should be separated with a hyphen ('-')

What went wrong?
"-webkit-hyphens: auto; hyphens: auto;"
does not have any effetct. In the developer console, if you take a look at the css property, it says "invalid property value" for both "-webkit-hyphens: auto;" and  "hyphens: auto;"

Did this work before? N/A

Summary: CSS hyphens:auto not recognised as valid property value (was: CSS hyphens not working)
I also observed this in 60.0.3073.0 (Official Build) canary (32-bit) (cohort: 32-Bit).

Note to test team - in the above linked test, it's the third paragraph of 'Google ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.' that you need to inspect in the inspector, to find that the property "hyphens:auto" is crossed out. You can also look at the 'auto' example on this page: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/CSS/hyphens

This is the intent-thread:

Doesn't look like auto is supposed to work on Mac and Android atm. Reporters UA says Windows.

Currently, 'auto' is available only on Mac and Android, where platforms has dictionaries. Dictionary support for other platforms are on issue 652964.

The feedback to the intent was that, on platforms where dictionaries are not supported, we should allow web developers to detect it, so 'auto' is an invalid value for Win/Linux/CrOS today.
