On our birds we should not get a chip det msg. If that were to occur it would be logged in the cntral maint computer (cmc). Looking at the system diagram it does not appear that you would even get a bypass at all. I count 4 chip detects with four sumps. So you would only get the chip detect in the cmc if one of those picked up debris.
I guess the logic is, a little debris is not worth alerting the crew. If there is alot of debris perhaps there is a major malfunction that will manifest itself in other places.
Hope this helps
