There is no reversion from VNAV PTH to LVL CHG when MIN speed is reached and flaps are greater than 12.5.

In VNAV PATH, the airplane follows the programmed vertical profile while respecting configuration and speed limits. Reversion to Level Change happens only when the flight plan or constraints require a different vertical mode, or when you manually select it. Reaching the minimum speed and having flaps greater than 12.5 does not by itself trigger a reversion to Level Change—the VNAV path continues to guide you toward the next altitude constraint or the end of the segment, with speed constraints managed in the background. So the statement is true: there is no automatic revert to LVL CHG simply because MIN speed is reached with flaps above 12.5.
