This problem with bold faces in a mode line was solved recently
by using `Buffer-menu-buffer-face' instead of the hard-coded
`(:weight bold)'.

I don't know at which point it was changed, but currently cvs directory
names have a special face `cvs-header-face' whose bold property can be
changed easily.

Generally, I think there should not be anonymous faces, and all used
faces should have their own names to make it possible to change their
properties.
