Depends on how you set the variable:
- Most minor modes can be enabled by customising their mode variable.
- The mode variable of auto-fill-mode is auto-fill-function.
- Calling auto-fill-mode directly does little more than set
auto-fill-function.
- In this sense it's similar to a glorified indent-tabs-mode.
- Setting the mode variable of auto-fill-mode and being surprised when
auto-fill ensues in certain cases is a pilot error.
For better or worse, this is all long-standing and documented behaviour,
so unless you have concrete proposals for how to improve on said design
flaw in a backward-compatible way, I'm not sure there's much to be done
except for clarify the documentation where possible.
