Python also has no separate compilation step and yet it did not adopt this philosophy

Yes. It did. It didn't assign exactly the same semantics, but it DOES assign a run time semantic to min().

I'm addressing the bit that I quoted, saying that an interpreted language "must" have valid semantics for all code. I'm not specifically addressing whether or not JavaScript is right in this particular case of min().

...but also, what are you talking about? Python throws a type error if you call min() with no argument.
