I think the matte and glossy dmaxs are not entirely comparable. 
Reflections in typical display conditions significantly reduce the 
effective depth of glossy blacks. In typical display, a good matte 
print under glass looks very similar to a glossy print under glass

Yes, there is a gloss/matte differential when glazed. I keep intending to use a spectroradiometer to take measurements of gloss and matte prints under glass and determine what the differential value, or formula, is, but I never seem to have the time. But the short story is that the difference virtually disappears when framed under glass.
