Research direction

Start by tracing the PowerShell adapter used by dsc resource list --adapter Microsoft.Dsc/PowerShell, then inspect how class-based resource ASTs are checked for capabilities. Reproduce the case with a class-based resource containing a static Export() method; done means the command lists the Export capability automatically.
