Good question but here are the answers after a 10 second search

What is minor update:

AutoInstallMinorUpdates

Off - Treat minor updates like other updates.

On - Silently install minor updates.

so for Automatic Updates, what would be considered a "minor update"?

would it download additional updates to the ones it already downloads?

anoymous_person, what I think (not checked though) is that when some hotfix has a minor update it is still the same 'stable' hotfix and if you want it to be automatically installed without question enable this option, if you want to be prompted like other updates then leave disabled.

Now if you put Autoupdate main option to autodownload and install all then these will be included also, it's not a question of hidden hotfixes, only automatization level.
