Any data modification that is minimally logged has to be written to the data file before the transaction completes
I don't think that's true. If it is, it violates the write-ahead-logging model, which SQL Server uses; only log records should have to be hardened for a transaction to complete, not data blocks.
I'll go with Gail on this one having reread this article: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Recovery+Model/89664/.
