Could you please identify that code more precisely?  The only related
code I could find was in the function mode-line-mode-name.  But that
function used copy-sequence to copy the text stored in mode-name, and
then returned that copy.  It did not change mode-name itself.  If you
did mean that function, what am I missing?
