I don't know if you are missing or I am misunderstanding. I was looking at
the customization page for Mode Line Inactive face. There are no attributes
checked except for Inherit and it inherits from Mode Line on this page. So
to me it looks like the faces should be the same. (But as you wrote the
deffaces in faces.el are different.)
