The idea of this minraise is to magnify your postflop decision profits because you're putting yourself at an advantage against hands that simply meet only limping criteria; you're imprvong your range while not improving theirs (as they have odds, whatever they called before theyre calling again)

As cbloom pointed out, the real advantages of the min-bet are information and control vs. predictable opponents.

Like I said in one of my previous responses, I've seen LAGs do this. They min-bet to test the waters and then on the next street they pot or 2X pot. It's very effective if no-on plays back at you.... which will eventually happen and many of these LAGs know how to bluff but not how to fold.
