So, I've looked through and I haven't found any related minutes (I've
looked for minutes that mentioned "physical", of which they were many,
but all related to physical properties and scroll snapping, and for
minutes that mentioned mozmm, of which they were none).
I've found two threads in the w3c mailing list that look related, one
which is basically the discussion that lead to all units being changed
to be relative to the density of the display:

And someone interjecting on a thread about adding the Q unit:

It sounds like you may have missed the lengthy "[css3-values] Physical
length units" thread (spun off from "[css3-mediaqueries] DPI in
resolution media queries") that started in mid-Feb 2012:
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Feb/0627.html
I haven't re-read all that thread to see whether anything resembling a
consensus seemed to be emerging.... my (vague) recollection is that
there's generally little enthusiasm in the WG for a "true" physical
unit, with perhaps one or two vocal dissenters.
