No, it doesn't (unless I'm missing something). It says that construction
uses the /value/ of other highway tags:

"Values of construction=* can be all values from highway=*, railway=*,
waterway=* and landuse=*."

So what you do to mark a trunk under construction is to use two tags:
highway=construction
+ construction=trunk

As you use the construction instead of the highway key to store the
highway value "trunk", this is possible even with API 0.6.
