No, the mode is called twice, first time to turn it off, then to turn
it on.  The mode hook is also called twice, for the same reason.  I
don't know what that means for after-change-major-mode functions, but
maybe they are also called twice

I have no more information about that than what I told.  You should be
able to see whether after-change-major-mode is called twice by putting
some message there, or with Edebug.

Sorry, I don't know, since I have no idea what editorconfig wants to
do.
