To be honest, I don't think that mode should appear on the layer styles. The list should only accept the photoshop compatible modes (I know that it says "photoshop" in the name, but it really tries to mimic the hard mix brush texture mode used in ps, not any layer blend mode). I'll ask the devs.
Hi, DeifLou and KnowZero! Yes, please just remove this blendmode from the lost of allowed blendmodes in layer styles. The list of modes in layer styles is fixed and defined by the ASL file format. We cannot extend it.
