Yes, variables are a bit misnamed, that should be fixed someday.
Regarding 0 vs INT_MAX, in case of 0 values will be
300: divisor = 12307 (13)
600: divisor = 6153 (13)
1200: divisor = 3076 (13)
2400: divisor = 1538 (13)
4800: divisor = 625 (16)
9600: divisor = 384 (13)
14400: divisor = 256 (13)
19200: divisor = 192 (13)
28800: divisor = 128 (13)
38400: divisor = 96 (13)
57600: divisor = 64 (13)
115200: divisor = 32 (13)
230400: divisor = 16 (13)
460800: divisor = 8 (13)
921600: divisor = 4 (13)
1000000: divisor = 3 (16)
1843200: divisor = 2 (13)
3000000: divisor = 1 (16)
3686400: divisor = 0 (16) << error here, should be 1 (13), as it is with INT_MAX

Actually, I haven't found any statement in TRM, which would mention
that listed baudrates in referenced table are the only supported baud
rates,
and all others are illegal.
At least 1M which I use extensively works perfectly, and I can not
figure out any idea why it would not do so.
General idea behind original commit is "to provide actual baudrate
that is as close as possible to requested one",
while keeping values in allowed range of divisor and mode.
