No, I had understood the problem, but I guess it has been fixed in the
meantime - possibly

  cbfb1295554 Stefan Monnier  Improve disabling the mode

The problem had been that the mode var and the var used by the mode-line
to decide if there is anything to show were different and disabling the
mode didn't change the other var so the mode line display was not turned
off.  After the above commit the mode line display is only on when both
variables are non-nil so I think he fixed it without knowing of this
report.

Michael.
