Oh, good question. Every time I lobbed one, its been indirect, and I never even tried beyond 400m. The very few times I fired directly, its always been with rubber or pellet loads that didn't have the capability of indirect fire. Well, effective indirect fire at anyrate. Like you, I always thought the range given for IDF was the max, so perhaps the ranges for GL's in the direct role need to be adjusted. Max direct, in my opinion, is about 200, so range gates would be 200, 100, 50, and 25. Which feels kinda right. Though, I agree, past 100m the indirect/direct starts getting real fuzzy.
